Indiana CTSI Think Tank Program

The Indiana CTSI Preclinical Innovation “Think Tank” program will serve as a one-stop-shop where PIs can receive guidance from a pool of advisors – including experts in the drug and device industry – who serve as an essential resource for a wide range of scientific, technical, clinical, business, and regulatory questions. Projects will be guided from start to finish with robust tracking and milestone-based funding to help generate data for Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) applications, small business grants such as the NIH Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs, or commercialization.

Principal Investigators should use the REDCap form below to contact the Think Tank Navigators.
