The new version of the CCTS website boasts a site architecture that is more intuitive and user-friendly and was designed based on feedback and input from research team focus groups. 

By simplifying the process to identify, search and access information, the new architecture makes it easier to find available research support services, research tools and resources on the website.

This concept is also reflected in the new personalized My Research Record, a computerized research record integrated with the website that makes requesting and tracking CCTS services from submission to completion much simpler. 

There are also a lot of new useful features, highlight by the new CCTS Research Calendar that provides information on upcoming funding opportunities, seminars and lectures, research events, community events, and educational opportunities from across the OSU, OSU Wexner Medical Center, and Nationwide Childrens Hospital research institutions.

The CCTS is pleased to announce a new matching fund program to assist members in obtaining custom syntheses of small molecules not otherwise available.

The purpose of the program is to promote the use of these new compounds in Translational Research projects. 

The program is part of the Drug Discovery and Development Core of the CCTS and is offered in conjunction with the Medicinal Chemistry Shared Resource (MCSR) of the OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center.

April 18, 2012 - The CCTS hosted a session to assist research scientists in maximizing their research potential.

Presented by Michael Bills, Executive Director of the Innovation Initiative at the Fisher College of Business, the session offered a discussion forum for research scientists wanting to learn more about innovation, its role in clinical and translational science and how to maximize the potential of research, including new ways of thinking about top-line growth, multi-disciplinary collaboration and the viability of new discoveries and capabilities.

The workshop, entitled "From Discovery to Innovation," helped researchers and investigators understand how true innovation can uncover both unarticulated and articulated needs of patients and end-users.
