Frequently Asked Questions

1. I already cited my own grant as the primary funding source. Can I also cite the support I received from CTSI?

Yes, it is okay to credit multiple sources of support. Please use the following grant citation language: "This publication [or project] was supported by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, National Institutes of Health, through UCSF-CTSI Grant Number ###. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the NIH."
Replace the Grant Number placeholder ### as noted at the top of the page.

2. I have several co-authors on my publication. How can I delineate that these services were used to support only a portion of the work?

If you have multiple co-authors, only some of whom were supported by CTSI:

"Dr. A and Dr. B’s effort was supported by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, National Institutes of Health, through UCSF-CTSI Grant Number ###. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the NIH." Replace the Grant Number placeholder ### as noted at the top of the page.

Alternately, you can say generally that part of the project was supported by CTSI:

"This publication [or project] was supported in part by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, National Institutes of Health, through UCSF-CTSI Grant Number ###. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the NIH." Replace the Grant Number placeholder ### as noted at the top of the page.

3. Where do I include the citation in my poster presentation?

4. Why should I credit the CTSI grant?

5. I paid for CTSI services. Do I still have to credit the CTSI grant?
