ACCELERATING SCIENCE. IMPROVING CARE.
The Colorado Clinical & Translational Sciences Institute (CCTSI) is the academic home to help transform the clinical and translational research and training efforts at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and affiliated institutions, including Colorado State University. The CCTSI was created in 2008 with funding from the Clinical & Translational Science Award (CTSA) initiative of the National Institutes of Health. Colorado State University joined the CCTSI during the grant renewal in 2013 and continues to be funded through an institutional subaward.
