The Trial Innovation Network is a collaborative national network that focuses on operational innovation, operational excellence and collaboration and will leverage the expertise and resources of the CTSA Program.

The Consortium of Rural States (CORES) is a collaborative research consortium of nine academic medical institutions that are working to improve health in rural communities with funding from the Clinical & Translational Science Award (CTSA) of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at the National Institutes of Health. Through inter-institutional pilot funding and sharing best practices, CORES aims to accelerate research efforts that can reduce the burden of illness and mortality in rural populations.

The CTSA Collaborative and Innovative Acceleration Award (CCIA) aims to accelerate the pace of translational research by supporting the collaborative development, dissemination, and sustainable implementation of innovative solutions across the CTSA Program Consortium and beyond. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites investigator-initiated applications to develop, demonstrate, and disseminate innovative new approaches, technologies, resources, or models that increase the impact of research across diseases, transform the field of translational science, and bring more treatments for all people more quickly. 

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) mission is to turn research observations into health solutions through translational science. Our vision is more treatments for all people more quickly. NCATS sponsors a variety of grants and funding opportunities. They also participate in funding opportunities sponsored by other parts of NIH.
