ABOUT TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH

As defined by the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, translation is “the process of turning observations in the laboratory, clinic and community into interventions that improve the health of individuals and the public — from diagnostics and therapeutics to medical procedures and behavioral changes.”

At the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI), working to accelerate translational research means we support and cultivate a pipeline of scientific discovery, where the ultimate outcome is actionable results that help improve health in our state.
