Working Groups

Working Groups (WGs) consider and develop solutions around a specific clinical and translational science issue. WGs propose, and with CLIC programmatic support, deliver CTSA Program Steering Committee approved projects that fill identified translational gaps and/or further the CTSA Program objectives in high priority areas in clinical and translational science. Projects may result in outputs such as consensus papers, white papers, publications, and/or plans for workshops, symposiums, meetings, and/or a conference. WG’s may choose to pursue potential funding for activities stemming from those deliverables through CCIAs or supplements; development of applications must take place outside of supported CTSA Program Groups.

About CTSA Program Groups

A variety of CTSA Program Groups were established to execute the recommendations of the NCATS Advisory Council Working Group on the IOM Report on the CTSA Program.

Working Group Applications

Interested parties are required to propose and deliver well-defined projects or deliverables that fill identified translational gaps and/or further the CTSA Program objectives in high priority areas in clinical and translational science. Based upon availability, there will be three (3) application submission rounds annually.
