In late 2006, when UC Davis was honored to be among the first 12 institutions to receive a coveted Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA), we believed that it marked an important recognition of this university’s rich, collaborative culture. During the 5 years that have followed, the consortium of CTSA medical research institutions has expanded to 60, and our CTSA partners are currently located in 30 states and the District of Columbia.

Initially the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) served as an incubator of ideas and a catalyst for partnerships at UC Davis and beyond. Today, we offer a full-fledged toolbox of resources that faculty and staff across the spectrum of scientific research can use to improve health and health-care delivery. Whether you are a researcher, industry representative, potential scholar, or member of the community, we encourage you to use our website to explore services and resources that will benefit you and colleagues.
