CTSC Passport Program

Explore. Engage. Earn Rewards.

The CTSC Passport Program invites Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) to explore all that the CTSC of Northern Ohio has to offer while earning rewards along the way. Accessible from your phone or desktop computer, the program makes it easy to participate in CTSC activities, collect points, unlock badge levels, and choose prizes at each tier. Along the way, ESIs can build valuable connections, strengthen their research journey, and access resources that support research and career development.
