Testimonials From Our Partners

"Our goal is simple: to let science guide us in getting treatments to patients sooner to improve human health. That is the mission of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) program that supports the work of the integrated Translational Health Research Institute of Virginia (iTHRIV), a consortium of researchers and community partners across the state who use data to improve health. That spirit is also embodied in the VCCRN, which leverages the power of collaboration with academic partners, healthcare institutions, industry teams, and government agencies to advance the translational science to benefit the people of the Commonwealth. iTHRIV is excited to partner with the VCCRN on this important effort."
