What this is
The CTSN Linked Clinical Research Centers program provides funding for institutions to participate in a coordinated network conducting clinical trials and research in cardiothoracic surgery. This is infrastructure and operational funding for established clinical research centers rather than startup or development funding. Applicants must be academic medical centers or clinical research institutions with existing cardiothoracic surgery programs and the capacity to enroll and manage trial participants across multiple sites.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are typically academic medical centers, university hospitals, and established clinical research institutions with active cardiothoracic surgery departments. Individual researchers, small startups, and non-affiliated researchers are not eligible; applicants must be part of larger institutional research infrastructure capable of conducting and coordinating multi-site clinical trials.
