U-M receives $71M NIH grant to advance clinical, translational science
Traditionally, the timeline for translating research into effective therapies for disease has been long. On average, it takes more than 10 years to bring a potential medication to market, and most drugs and other interventions that reach clinical trials fail to produce any benefit for patients. To address this challenge, the National Center for Advancing Translational Science, part of the National Institutes of Health, has awarded the Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research a new seven-year, $71M Clinical and Translational Science Award.
