About CTSI-CN

The Clinical and Translational Science Institute at Children's National (CTSI-CN) is a joint effort by Children's National Medical Center and The George Washington University Medical Center with several goals:
  • To help researchers and physicians work together to develop new treatments for a variety of medical disorders
  • To make it easier for new medical discoveries to move from the laboratory to the patients who need treatments
  • To teach a new generation of medical professionals and scientists the importance of team science and collaborative approaches in pediatric diseases
Led by Principal Investigator Mendel Tuchman, MD, at Children's National, the Clinical and Translational Science Institute at Children's National was awarded a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA), funded by the National Center for Research Resources in summer 2010. The CTSI-CN is the first children's hospital-led clinical and translational science initiative to join the prestigious consortium of CTSA institutions.
