The Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS) has been granted over $63 million in funding over the next five years through a Clinical and Translational Science Award from the National Institutes of Health. This will be the fourth Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) that ITHS has received since its inception in 2007 as a partnership between the University of Washington, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Seattle Children’s.
ITHS promotes the translation of scientific discovery to practice by cultivating multi-disciplinary research partnerships, disseminating scientific tools and best practices, funding innovative research pilot awards and ensuring a diverse pipeline of next generation researchers through robust educational and career development programs.
