The Indiana CTSI’s Project Development Teams (PDTs) help researchers turn their ideas into realities.

On May 5, from 12-1pm, the Indiana CTSI will host a virtual informational event where researchers can learn more about the PDTs directly from other researchers who have benefitted from their guidance and support.

Getting funding is tough. PDTs strengthen your ideas, your strategy, and your path to support. Have questions? Join us on May 5.
