Committee on Clinical and Translational Science
Welcome to the Committee on Clinical & Translational Science (CCTS).
Our mission is to enhance multidisciplinary training in clinical and translational science at the University of Chicago. We seek to offer high-quality curriculum and mentorship to a new generation of researchers who will synthesize social and biological science to significantly advance medical science and practice.
The Committee on Clinical and Translational Science is the academic unit responsible for graduate training in clinical and translational science at the University of Chicago. The CCTS was developed as part of the University of Chicago’s NIH-sponsored Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA), which is housed within the Institute for Translational Medicine (ITM).
The CCTS mobilizes faculty from across the University of Chicago to enhance course offerings at the University in clinical and translational science. We seek to organize these courses into coherent sequences that allow trainees to develop state-of-the-art skills in specific Areas of Concentration within clinical and translational science. We also organize two workshop series in translational science, the Biological and Translational Research Workshop (BTRW) and the Outcomes Research Workshop (ORW). The CCTS works closely with the Training Cluster of the University of Chicago CTSA, which administers our KL2 and T32 training programs.
