CTSI Update
The BU CTSI Needs Your Help!
In preparation for designing an Element E for the upcoming CTSI renewal, we are seeking ideas for multi-disciplinary, team-based translational science projects.

As per the NOFO, these projects must address a roadblock in translational science. Specifically, projects must not only “address a translational research question in a particular disease or intervention development/dissemination context, but also provide generalizable CTS innovations or insights that can be applied to other translational research projects.” Learn More
