CTSI-CN Leadership Statement
The CTSI-CN offers our heartfelt condolences to the family of George Floyd and all victims of racism and prejudice. Our mission is to advance the health and well-being of our community, including its minority and underserved populations.
We will listen, we will learn, and we will think creatively about how research initiatives can help move us towards solutions.
Most importantly, we will not turn away. We will be present to support our researchers and our communities through this difficult time in our city and our nation.

The George Washington University (GW) is committed to fostering a research environment guided by the highest standards of research ethics and integrity. Conducting research responsibly is crucial in obtaining objective results and maintaining the public’s trust as stewards of research funds. GW encourages all of its faculty and students to be familiar with general professional and ethical standards of academic research as well as those in their disciplines. Continuous Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training is a critical part of these efforts.

Open to single PIs and/or research teams led by one PI are eligible. At least one member of the team should hold a Faculty appointment at Children's National Hospital/George Washington University. Funds and support are available for “shovel-ready” projects aimed at translating discovery to improved health, with special attention to issues related to achieving health equity. This opportunity has a quick turnaround and limited funding period (~4.5 months), therefore projects should be designed to utilize existing data and/or resources, including biorepositories, to positively impact decision-making by healthcare professionals, patients, parents, and the communities served by our institutions. Qualitative or focus group studies that can be completed within the short timeline of this award would also be acceptable.

Now accepting applications for the 2022-2023 Academic Year! The Global Health Initiative at Childrens National Hospital seeks to foster and encourage the development of research that addresses key pediatric global health challenges, improves health outcomes in resource-limited settings, and favorably positions faculty to obtain extramural funding in pediatric global health research. Projects to be considered must be conducted in a low or middle-income country (LMIC) on a pediatric topic of importance to that country and/or have direct relevance to emerging global threats. Proposals to study a health issue in a developing country that could be studied using a US population are not encouraged and will receive a lower score.

"Re-engineering the Clinical Research Enterprise in Response to COVID-19: The CTSA Experience"
The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the greatest global public health crises of our lifetime. Across the country, institutions in the CTSA Program responded quickly to it, pivoting research and creating new programs to respond to the outbreak. This special theme issue of the Journal of Clinical and Translational Science (JCTS) reflects on these changes, shares lessons learned and discusses which practices can continue in the future to advance translational science. -
