Indiana statewide research institute gets boost with new federal grants
By Indiana University
December 2, 2009
The Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute has received four supplemental grants totaling nearly $2.5 million that will strengthen its efforts to move laboratory discoveries by Indiana scientists to the bedside and the marketplace.
Included is an award that will support the addition of the University of Notre Dame to the Indiana CTSI, and another that will bolster efforts to recruit participants who are crucial to conducting clinical trials of new drugs and devices. The Notre Dame-related award, for about $600,000, will provide pilot funding and project management assistance for research efforts that hold promise for new medical treatments.
The Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute was created in 2008 with a five-year, $25 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to promote research collaborations involving Indiana and Purdue universities, state and local health agencies and the private sector. The new grants were awarded by the NIH's National Center for Research Resources with funds from the federal economic stimulus program.
