The Johns Hopkins Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR), established in 2007, is one of 60 medical research institutions working together as a national consortium to improve the way biomedical research is conducted across the country.
The consortium, funded through the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA), shares a common vision to reduce the time it takes for laboratory discoveries to become treatments for patients, and to engage communities in clinical research efforts. It also is fulfilling the critical need to train a new generation of clinical researchers. The CTSA program is led by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), part of the National Institutes of Health.
To transform and support research at Johns Hopkins to become more rigorous, innovative, efficient and safe, the ICTR will support any translational researcher across Johns Hopkins University who has good ideas and behaves with integrity, values interdisciplinary research, and supports the next generation of translational researchers
