How to Cite Grants
Investigators who received funding through the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA), or who used any CTSA services to support their research, are required by the NIH to cite the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) grant. Grant citations are used as a critical performance measure when reporting evaluation metrics to the NIH.
Citation Examples
The following language may be used to acknowledge the Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences:
The research [publication title] was supported by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) of the National Institutes of Health, through UTHealth-CCTS grant number [grant number]. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences or the National Institutes of Health.

Helpful Links and Tips for Investigators
- Learn the NIH grant format. NIH is the world's largest awarder of biomedical research grants, and their format is commonly used by other grant agencies as well.
- Familiarize yourself with the Office of Extramural Research (OER), the arm of NIH that awards grants. Visit https://grants.nih.gov/grants/oer.htm for information on applying for grants, writing grant applications, and additional grant opportunities.
- Sign up to receive NIH updates or follow on social media: https://grants.nih.gov/news-events/subscribe-follow
- Check out the NIH’s 27 institutes and centers at: https://www.nih.gov/institutes-nih. They list funding opportunities and tips that may be relevant to you even if your work is not related to that institute or center.
- Read sample grant applications, as it helps to have a good model to follow. Visit: https://www.niaid.nih.gov/grants-contracts/sample-applications.
- Ask colleagues for their grant applications. For applications in your field, ask collaborators if you can read their funded grant applications. If applying for an unusual grant, such as an NIH K99/R00, successful applicants at your institution will usually share their applications.
- Use NIH RePORTER (https://report.nih.gov/) to find those at your institution with particular grants (or to find anything about funded NIH grants).
