Organization and Administration

In 2006, three Texas Medical Center institutions were among the first in the nation to receive a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) from the National Institutes of Health to accelerate the translation of laboratory discoveries into patient treatments. The grant was used to establish the Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences (CCTS). Headquartered at UTHealth Houston, the CCTS includes the following partner organizations and campuses:

  • UTHealth Houston
  • The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
  • UT Tyler Health Science Center
  • The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
  • Rice University
  • Texas Tech Health El Paso
  • Memorial Hermann Health System
  • Harris Health Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital

CCTS resources are available to all faculty, staff, and trainees at each of the above institutions. See About Us for how to access the resources and our component web pages for more information.
