Dear Members of the Notre Dame and the Indiana University School of Medicine-South Bend research communities:
As the challenging 2020-2021 academic year comes to an end, there are many upcoming opportunities from the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (Indiana CTSI) to share. Funding opportunities and events are always available on the central Indiana CTSI website, however, these emails will reinforce that information with timely, focused reminders.

You are encouraged to contact Jessica or Paul about any questions you may have or assistance that you may need about any of these opportunities.
