August 30, 2022CTSA Program hubs offer a wide range of services, from bioinformatics to recruitment support, to help investigators across disciplines design, implement and report their research more rigorously and efficiently. In 2018, Julie T. Elworth, Ph.D., director of evaluation at the University of Washington Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS), realized that more than 75 percent of
The Program Evaluation and Continuous Improvement Manager performs a full range of professional duties including leading and managing multiple and diverse assignments, with a primary focus on conducting quality improvement and program evaluation activities, managing and maintaining the systems and processes, and directing/leading staff to support these activities within the MCCCC Cancer Research
April 14, 2022“This article provides a new framework for demonstrating the impact of a translational research program. By evaluating short- and long-term influence across both academic and public spheres, we obtain a more complete picture of how Georgia CTSA-supported pediatrics research has advanced translational science,” says Nicole Llewellyn, PhD, associate director, Georgia CTSA Evaluation and Continuous
December 17, 2021One goal of the CTSA program is to accelerate the translation of research into public health policy through informing new policy briefs, guidelines, and initiatives. Using cutting-edge bibliometric tools, we are pleased to share in this infographic how Georgia CTSA-supported research has gone beyond academic boundaries to influence health policy. View Infographic
October 05, 2021What is the real-world impact of our network? That is a question the Clinical and Translational Science Awards Program has been trying to answer since its inception. Over the past four years, the Center for Leading Innovation and Collaboration has pitched in on that effort, knitting together several tried and trusted evaluation methods to develop a new Stakeholder-Engaged Research Impact
June 28, 2021Government, non-profits, and organizations fund research with the ultimate goal of improving health and society. Yet measuring these long-term outcomes can be challenging, and research impact has traditionally been tied to quantitative productivity, like bibliometrics and grant funding, and not necessarily the broader impacts of research. For years, researchers lacked a cohesive framework to
February 05, 2021In a new study, the Evaluation and Continuous Improvement (ECI) team of the Georgia CTSA evaluated publications characterized as Big Splashes with immediate impact and publications with Ripple Effects over time, to understand how Georgia CTSA-supported research is ‘making waves’ that can accelerate translation. Previous systematic evaluations of the Georgia CTSA’s publication portfolio revealed a

Developing Common Metrics for the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSAs): Lessons Learned
Clinical and translational scienceThe National Institutes of Health (NIH) Roadmap for Medical Research initiative, funded by the NIH Common Fund and offered through the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program, developed more than 60 unique models for achieving the NIH goal of accelerating discoveries toward better public health.

We evaluated how regulatory support services provided by University of Illinois at Chicago's Center for Clinical and Translational Science may reduce Institutional Review Board (IRB) turnaround times. IRB applications were categorized by receipt of any regulatory support and amount of support received.

They engage researchers, community members and local organizations to include a community voice in research. The OCTRI Community Research Hub partnered with Tillamook County to evaluate and develop next steps for the Tillamook Year of Wellness
September 09, 2019As a key currency of the scientific community, publications are often used as a measurement of success for researchers and research institutions. Published research allows an expansive community of scientists, healthcare professionals, government workers and more to make data-driven decisions that will improve population and patient health outcomes. The Clinical and Translational Science Award
August 27, 2019For many Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program hubs, delays in Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval can feel like a translational roadblock on scientists’ path to implementing research that may ultimately improve public health outcomes. However, as an essential part of ensuring the welfare of human research subjects, the IRB is crucial to maintaining the highest ethical
August 06, 2019Evaluators have strongly felt that more strategic approach to CTSA Evaluation is needed. The authors recognize the need to have a guiding document that can be used for the entire consortium. In late 2017 a group of evaluators formed the Clinical and Translational Sciences Awards (CTSA) Evaluation Guidelines Workgroup, co-chaired by Tanha Patel (Wake Forest) and Julie Rainwater, PhD (University of
