Pilot and Collaborative Translational and Clinical Studies Program (PiCoTraCS)
The Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute (ACTSI) Pilot and Collaborative Translational and Clinical Studies Program (PiCoTraCS) is a catalyst and vehicle for the transformation of clinical and translational science in Atlanta. The 21st Century represents a revolutionary era for biomedical discovery and application. PiCoTraCS promotes new networks of multidisciplinary and inter-institutional research teams to re-engineer the health sciences enterprise of our city. PiCoTraCS enhances currently available resources from each of our partner institutions by investing in new clinical and translational research paradigms, to encourage young faculty to develop cutting edge science, and to become the glue that cements investigators and projects across the research consortium. Funding is used to support 1-2 year pilot projects consonant with the broad aims and objectives of ACTSI.
