The Center for Leading Innovation & Collaboration, the coordinating center for the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program, featured the Institute for Translational Science’s (ITM) pilot program in its highlight of Health Literacy Month, observed in October.
The ITM communications office helps researchers create public-friendly scripts and produces videos for a non-scientific audience as part of their application. Finalists receive a video package that includes patient and collaborator voices, as well as a summary of the project by the applicant – all at an approachable 7th-grade reading level!
