The University of Wisconsin-Madison, through its new Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR), will address how to translate biomedical discoveries into practices that improve health. The ICTR will take a new approach to research by producing interdisciplinary research scientists who can address health problems along a continuum--from basic laboratory investigations through clinical trials in patients and into population health studies in communities. The Institute will provide researchers an array of tools and will create feedback systems to ensure that research is relevant and addresses the health care needs of populations in Wisconsin.
The Institute will be the hub of a network that fans across the university and extends around the state. People based at five schools on campus and several hospitals in Madison will be involved as will experts at academic campuses on all points of the Badger State compass. New and existing statewide partnerships will be enhanced. Physicians and public health workers in towns and communities throughout the state will be essential players.
