Goal #1: Advance clinical and translational science

The annual <a href="https://www.buffalo.edu/ctsi/about-us/buffalo-translational-consortium/btc-clinical-research-achievement-awards.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Buffalo Translational Consortium Clinical Research Achievement Awards</a> recognize clinical researchers for their innovative work, their dedication to translational research, and the significance of their findings. The 2024 projects earning recognition made worldwide headlines.&nbsp;The awards honor outstanding accomplishments in clinical research performed at a <a href="https://www.buffalo.edu/ctsi/about-us/buffalo-translational-consortium.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Buffalo Translational Consortium</a> institution, with investigators from the University at Buffalo or Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center serving as principal authors. Research findings must have been published or in press in the past 12 months…&nbsp;Read the full article <a href="https://www.buffalo.edu/ctsi/ctsi-news.host.html/content/shared/www/ctsi/articles/academic_articles/btc-research-awards-recognize-ub-and-roswell-park-investigators.detail.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.

Goal #8: Foster the development of the emerging field of translational science

The Wake Forest Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) Pilot Program has played a crucial role in advancing research efforts aimed at improving emergency cardiovascular care. By providing critical early-stage funding and infrastructure, the Wake Forest CTSI enables researchers like <a href="https://school.wakehealth.edu/faculty/a/nicklaus-powell-ashburn" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nicklaus Powell Ashburn, M.D., M.S.</a> to rapidly test innovative interventions, laying the groundwork for larger, National Institute of Health (NIH) funded studies.&nbsp;The Wake Forest CTSI Ignition Award enabled Dr. Ashburn and his team to quickly evaluate an intervention within Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s emergency department. This initial testing phase was essential in securing Dr. Ashburn’s NIH/NHLBI K23 funding, as the preliminary data collected through the Wake Forest CTSI Ignition Award were highly regarded by reviewers. One of the key interventions emerging from this research is the Emergency Medicine Risk Assessment for Lipid Disorders Intervention. This program aims to close a significant gap in care for patients who visit the emergency department with chest pain who have unrecognized or unmanaged cardiovascular disease risk. The intervention consists of several components, such as obtaining a lipid panel in the Emergency Department, statin prescriptions for at-risk patients, lifestyle modification recommendations, and referrals to preventive cardiovascular care specialists…&nbsp;Read the full article <a href="https://ctsi.wakehealth.edu/announcements/2025/05/the-impact-of-wake-forest-ctsis-pilot-program-on--advancing-emergency-cardiac-care-research" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
