CTSI Affiliates Program Application

The Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) Affiliates Program consists of Penn State University faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and research associates who are invested in institutional networking to conduct high quality, collaborative clinical and translational research. Our program officially supports clinical and translational researchers at all Penn State locations and expands their representation within the CTSI. The Affiliates Program serves as the nexus for this community of researchers to share ideas and opportunities and pursue innovative team science endeavors.

Do your current research activities constitute clinical and translational research? The NIH definitions of translation, translational research, and translational science are provided below.

Translation: The process of turning observations in the laboratory, clinic, and community into diagnostics or interventions that improve the health of individuals and communities - from diagnostics, preventions, and treatments to medical procedures and behavioral changes.

Translational Research: The endeavor to traverse a particular step of the translational process for a specific target or disease. Translational research studies often focus on one disease, working along the translational process to bring discovery from bench to bedside.

Translational Science: The field of investigation focused on understanding the scientific and operational principles underlying each step of the translational process. Translational science studies do not focus on one particular disease and work to develop methods that can be applied to all translational research or translational science.
