Institute of Translational Health Sciences
The Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS) is a collaboration between 3 partners; the University of
Washington, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Seattle Children's. The ITHS supports novel
research resources in biomedical informatics, biostatistics, therapeutic product development and clinical
research, supported by expertise in bioethics and regulatory practices. To train the next generation of
researchers, the ITHS has developed multidisciplinary educational offerings in translational research:
structured training programs (pre-doctoral and post-doctoral programs) and lifelong learning programs
(flexible continuing education for researchers at any stage of their career). Our overarching goals are to: 1)
Develop and promote multidisciplinary teams and academic-community partnerships to increase the speed
and quality of translational research, 2) Train scientists to cross the interface of translational research phases,
so their ideas will move more quickly to a health impact, and 3) Transform research processes and practices
in our regions and the CTSA network through dissemination of innovative approaches and best practices.
The CTSA program, both at the local level and through the national CTSA consortium, provides the
elements needed to accelerate discoveries at the bench into tangible health benefits for our communities.

NIMHD Comprehensive Centers of Excellence (P60)
This application, in response to RFA-MD-11-003 NIMHD Comprehensive Centers of Excellence (P60) is designed
to develop the Indigenous Wellness Research Institute (IWRI) at the University of Washington as a National
Comprehensive Center of Excellence (COE) devoted to AIAN health and health disparities research and to develop a
cadre of NIH-funded AIAN behavioral scientists. It provides an excellent opportunity for IWRI to consolidate its
burgeoning infrastructure and strengthen existing partners into a vibrant, synergistic, collaborative whole. IWRI s
thematic focus is on behaviorally rooted health conditions that disproportionately affect AIANS (e.g., cardiovascular
disease, obesity, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, and mental illness). Consistent with the four main objectives of
NIMHD Centers, the proposed aims of IWRI are to improve AIAN health and eliminate health disparities by: (1)
developing an integrated, comprehensive, and centralized trans-disciplinary research infrastructure that builds on the
successes of IWRI s research, training activities, and community capacity building; (2) cultivating existing and
establishing novel partnerships with AIAN tribal communities and other organizations to facilitate truly collaborative
research; (3) developing new and enhancing existing research training activities at IWRI that prepare researchers to
conduct scientifically rigorous and culturally grounded health research; and (4) strengthening and consolidating AIAN
engagement, outreach and institutional partnerships.
