ITHS Receives $63M in Research Funding
[picture of Dr. Nora Disis in lab]The National Institutes of Health announced a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) of more than $63 million to the Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS), to be disbursed over the next five years. It is the institute's fourth such award.

"I am delighted to have the CTSA renewed for the next five years," said Dr. Mary (Nora) Disis, professor (Medical Oncology), ITHS director and associate dean for translational science at the UW School of Medicine. "ITHS has made great strides in supporting clinical and translational research over the last five years with the formation of the UW Medicine's Clinical Trials Office, the creation of numerous research networks across the WWAMI (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho) region, and significantly increased resources for research on the electronic health record."

[cid:image016.jpg at 01D84B6A.8F6B7370]UW Medicine to get up to $5.3M for TB research center
The goal of the Seattle Tuberculosis Research Advancement Center will be to develop the next generation of TB researchers by funding and mentoring new investigators, supporting lab and clinical research, and facilitating collaboration between research institutions within and outside of the university.

"We wanted the name to reflect that this effort seeks to include people who are working, or want to work, on TB at institutions all over the city," said Dr. Chetan Seshadri, associate professor (Allergy & Infectious Diseases). He will co-lead the center with Rhea Coler, a UW affiliate professor of global health and senior investigator at the Seattle Childrens' Research Institute, and David Sherman, professor and chair of the UW Department of Microbiology.
