With the announcement in April that CTSI had received more than $42.6 million over five years in renewed National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding through the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences’ Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program, this is a perfect time to share the top 10 things to know about NIH grant citations and related federal policy compliance requirements.
