Making Real-World Data and Real-World Evidence a Reality for Translational Science Un-Meeting & Workshop

NCATS Rapid Response Un-Meeting

Moving scientific discoveries into the “real world” effectively, efficiently, and safely are core principles of translational science. With the advent of big data analytics and data derived from multiple sources, it has become increasingly clear that utilizing data from real-world contexts opens another key layer of the translational science process. In essence, improving efficiency and safety while promoting greater innovation. However, incorporating real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) into existing biomedical research efforts is not always obvious. Like with every other aspect of translational science, the processes for doing so necessitate innovation. How to leverage the CTSA Consortium to continue incorporating and innovating with RWD/RWE to improve human health is exactly what this Rapid Response Un-Meeting hopes to address!
