Cite & Submit Heading link
All publications, posters, and conference presentations resulting from the utilization of any CCTS resources are required to credit the CTSA grant. This helps us demonstrate CCTS’s value and impact to our funders, partners, and collaborating institutions.
Cited publications are also required to comply with the NIH Public Access Policy and be assigned a PMCID. Below, you can find basic guidelines on how to cite CCTS grants and whether the NIH public access policy applies to your publication.

Should I Cite? FAQs Heading link
-
Answer
Yes, support that resulted in a substantial contribution to study design, implementation, analysis and/or interpretation should cite the grant.
For example, a project that received over 50 hurs of consultative support through Research Ally- cumulatively or through a single point of service- should cite the grant.
A project that consulted with the Community Engagement Advisory Board (CEAB) and subsequently changed their recruitment strategy would not need to cite the grant.
-
Answer
Yes, CCTS’s grant funding allows us to heavily subsidize services for campus investigators. PIs must cite the CCTS grant for all projects and publications resulting from the utilization of center services and resources, including the Clinical Research Center. Please include a citation even if the services were utilized earlier in the project’s development.
-
Answer
Projects receiving direct funding from CCTS, such as KL2 scholars and pilot grant awardees, should still cite the CCTS grant. The authors will be responsible for any costs associated to ensure compliance.
