help improve the imaging research infrastructure.

The RSNA is pleased to provide support for this effort by coordinating CTSA

Mission Statement

Dear Colleagues, I think completing this section with a succinct sentence or two would be a good exercise in finding our common vision and guiding our subsequent work. I put it on the agenda for our next meetings. Randy
Our ideas so far:

  • Provide expert consultation to the CTSC and the affiliated academic medical centers about policies for medical imaging related issues that are causing obstacles for clinical translational investigators.

```External imaging core collaborative effort Congratulations on being the recipient institution of a National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) bestowed Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) for 2008. The CTSA program creates an academic home for the discipline of clinical and translational science at institutions across the country. This consortium currently has 38 academic health centers located throughout the nation; by 2012, 60 such institutions will be linked together to energize the discipline of clinical and translational science.


A major goal of the CTSA initiative is to encourage member institutions to form collaborative alliances in efforts to exchange ideas, thus expediting the progression of research from bench top to clinic.
