About the CTSA Award

Working together as a national consortium, approximately 60 Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) institutions have committed to improve human health by streamlining science, transforming training environments and improving the conduct, quality and dissemination of clinical and translational research.

Citing the CTSA grant

By receiving the Clinical and Translational Science Award, the University of Minnesota is now required by the NIH to ensure an acknowledgment of the CTSA in any publications that result from UMN CTSI assistance with a project.

When to acknowledge CTSA support

Please note that assistance is not limited to monetary support (e.g., pilot grant funds), but also includes use of CTSI space, consultation with CTSI faculty or staff, and use of any CTSI Internal Service Organization services (Project Management, Clinical Research Coordinators, Nursing and Nutritional Services, Biostatistical support, and Regulatory assistance such as IND/IDE support, clinical trial monitoring, or ClinicalTrials.gov support).

How to acknowledge CTSA support

All publications resulting from the use of CTSI resources are required to credit CTSA by using the text below.

"Research reported in this publication was supported by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences of the National Institutes of Health Award Number UL1TR000114. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health."

CTSI-Ed KL2 Scholar should use this text:

"Research reported in this publication was supported by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences of the National Institutes of Health Award Number KL2TR000113. The content is solely the responsibility of the authors and does not necessarily represent the official views of the National Institutes of Health." 

Complying with the NIH Public Access Policy

The NIH requires that the publications that arise from NIH-funded research be compliant with the mandatory NIH Public Access Policy, including obtaining a PMCID. To ensure your research is publicly available, and to enable us to demonstrate the value of CTSI as a resource for the University of Minnesota, review NIH instructions on obtaining a PMCID.

CTSI staff are available to assist you with each step of this process; please contact CTSI at ctsi@umn.edu or 612-626-2318. Additionally, staff in the Bio-Medical Library are on-hand to answer questions about compliance by contacting public-access@umn.edu.
