From Drug Discovery Platform to Participant Recruitment: Pilot Award Recipients Lead the Way in CTS
The latest round of Clinical and Translational Science (CTS) Pilot Award recipients are tackling projects ranging from the development of an organoid platform for rapid drug screening to the engagement, recruitment, and retention of racial and ethnic minority participants in research. Their innovative projects are advancing CTS, a field of investigation that generates scientific and operational innovations that overcome long-standing challenges in the translational research pipeline. Projects such as these are helping to develop generalizable knowledge that will accelerate translational research and ultimately help health solutions reach all people more quickly.
