The CTSI invests in new resources for the benefit of the research community, supporting the launch and transition to cost recovery for new core services that address unmet investigator needs and create opportunities for translational research. Active cores receive initial startup support. After they are established, these cores remain affiliated with the CTSI and receive additional support via CTSI promotion, referrals and voucher support for services as appropriate.
