The University of Rochester Clinical and Translational Science Institute is a national leader in the expanding field of clinical and translational research. With funding from the National Institutes of Health, the CTSI is assembling the people and resources that will help scientists and physicians at the University of Rochester and across upstate New York collaborate to produce innovative science and technology that improves health. We have one goal: That new preventive interventions, diagnostic procedures and treatments get to patients and communities faster than ever before.

 

Current Funding Opportunities

American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Information

The CTSI has created a new website packed with information about and links to funding opportunities made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. In addition, it is a resource for URMC investigators to share ideas about how to take advantage of these opportunities. The site is available to URMC and River Campus users with a network logon ID or a NET ID.
