Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute (ACTSI)
Announces New Website
Funded last year by the NIH, the Atlanta Clinical and Translational
Science Institute (ACTSI) is working to improve the way clinical research
is conducted, engage communities and reduce the time for laboratory
discoveries to reach patients. The ACTSI Principal Investigator is
David S. Stephens, MD, Emory University’s Vice President for
Research and the Stephen W. Schwarzman Distinguished Professor of
Medicine. A new ACTSI website highlights community, discovery, training
and resources at Emory and partners Morehouse School of Medicine and
Georgia Tech.
The new user-centered site design provides updated aesthetic and easier
navigation for multiple site audiences. The new site's organizational
structure is the product of stakeholder and user research activities,
with the goal of balancing the needs of Emory University, Morehouse
School of Medicine, and Georgia Tech investigators, newcomers, and
Clinical Transitional Science Award (CTSA) insiders. The redesigned
homepage highlights a rotating window featuring stories on Community,
Discovery, Training, Resources and the national CTSA. To strengthen
the ACTSI brand the homepage now includes funding sources, a redesigned
ACTSI logo, tagline, and the logos of the three ACTSI academic partners;
Emory University, Morehouse School of Medicine, and Georgia Tech.
On www.AtlantaCTSI.org you
will also find the Spotlight section which features ACTSI investigators;
the Achievements section presents awards, accomplishments and purchases;
the Events and Seminars section announces ACTSI community events;
the ACTSI News section; and ‘partners alley’ which displays
the logos of many of ACTSI’s community partners. For direct
service please visit the Submit a Request portal at the top, right
of the homepage. To view this resource, please visit www.AtlantaCTSI.org.
The ACTSI is one of 38 medical research institutions working as a
national consortium to improve the way biomedical research is conducted
across the country. The consortium, funded through the Clinical and
Translational Science Awards (CTSA), shares a common vision to reduce
the time it takes for laboratory discoveries to become treatments
for patients, and to engage communities in clinical research efforts.
It is also fulfilling the critical need to train the next generation
of clinical researchers. The CTSA initiative is led by the National
Center for Research Resources at the National Institutes of Health.
