-CLICThe CLIC Virtual Tour is designed to give everyone involved with the CTSA Program, regardless of in what capacity, an overview of what CLIC provides and how to make it work for you. Think: a virtual ‘walk-through’ of new website resources, ways to communicate and guidance on how to access. It will be a multipart series, including live question and answer sessions. Videos will be released on the
January 31, 2023As previously shared, the CCOS Center has been busy transitioning activities and responsibilities from CLIC. One such activity is the design and development of the new CCOS website, which will go live by June. We have been working in tandem with CLIC to ensure that the new website highlights the myriad of important projects supported by the CTSA Program. Rest assured that all the valuable
December 21, 2022Greetings from the new Coordination, Communication and Operations Support (CCOS) Center! The CCOS Center has been working closely with CLIC to ensure that the CTSA Program support transition is as smooth as possible. We have developed a three-step phased approach for transitioning the logistics support for CTSA group meetings including Enterprise Committees, Consortium Groups and Working Groups-
December 21, 2022In September 2022, NCATS created a new coordination center to support the work of the CTSA Program. The Coordination, Communication and Operations Support (CCOS) Center’s mission is to facilitate the work of the collaborative scientific teams of CTSA, provide logistical support, and ensure a seamless flow of data, information, and insights across the network. The highest priority for the CCOS team
CLICCLIC has had the honor of serving the CTSA Consortium as your Coordinating Center for the past 5+ years as we transformed the Consortium together. With Consortium members, CLIC launched innovative team science activities – non-traditional Un-meetings and cross-hub, cross-translational level Synergy Papers that have become part of the fabric of the CTSA Program. All hubs participated in one or more

Among National Institutes of Health Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs, effective approaches for enterprise data warehouses for research (EDW4R) development, maintenance, and sustainability remain unclear. The goal of this qualitative study was to understand CTSA EDW4R operations within the broader contexts of academic medical centers and technology. - Journal of Clinical and Translational Science
Diversification of the Translational Science workforce is a strategic goal for the National Center for the Advancement of Translational Science (NCATS) program. NCATS has identified the development of translational science education, training and support for a diverse translational science workforce as key to advancing the growing field of translational science.

Identifying and disseminating actionable intelligence is a challenging task that requires thoughtful planning. The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences instituted the Common Metrics Initiative with the goal of evaluating the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Programs using a standard set of metrics.

Mini-sabbaticals are formal short-term training and educational experiences away from an investigator’s home research unit. These may include rotations with other research units and externships at government research or regulatory agencies, industry and non-profit programs, and training and/or intensive educational programs.

Rapid development and deployment of diagnostic testing for COVID-19 have been a key component of the public health response to the pandemic. Out of necessity, academic and other clinical laboratories developed laboratory testing innovations for COVID-19 to meet clinical testing demands.

Introduction:
Prior to the COVID pandemic, many CTSAs employed face-to-face interactions to conduct most of their community engagement (CE) activities. During the COVID pandemic, such engagement had to be curtailed and alternatives needed to be formulated. In addition, Community Engaged Research (CEnR) teams refocused their efforts to address this public health crisis. - Journal of Clinical and Translational Science
Introduction:
COVID-19 altered research in Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs in an unprecedented manner, leading to adjustments for COVID-19 research. - Journal of Clinical and Translational Science
Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the development and implementation of hundreds of clinical trials across the USA. The Trial Innovation Network (TIN), funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, was an established clinical research network that pivoted to respond to the pandemic.

This last 60-90 minute workshop is designed to explore the experiences and challenges hubs have faced with common data issues across the consortium. These workshops are an opportunity to learn from one another through mutual engagement, to have conversations about how we’ve addressed-

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.
March 02, 2022On February 10th, 2022, over 90 researchers from within and beyond the CTSA Program consortium virtually gathered for the CLIC-hosted Un-Meeting, “Climate Change and Human Health (C2H2): Through a Translational Science Lens.”
2022 CLIC-Sponsored Hub-Hosted Un-Meeting
The Genomic Information Commons (GIC) is an NCATS/NIH funded continuously updating, queryable, federated system enabling and promoting clinical and genomic research across eight pediatric hospitals. A GIC goal is to harmonize IT, regulatory and workflow components across sites for sharing genomic and phenotypic data (including EHR data on millions of patients), as well as biospecimen metadata on broadly consented cohorts.
At this potentially transformative moment, GIC sites seek innovative and collaborative ideas from across the CTSA Consortium

If the clinical and translational research enterprise is to help resolve health crises and ensure that all people in the United States have the opportunity to live healthy lives, it must shift paradigms and begin to center equity, diversity, and inclusion in its work.
January 04, 2022In early December, over 700 CTSA Program members gathered for the virtual 2021 CTSA Program Annual Meeting: “Intentional Disruption and Innovation: The Future of Translational Science.” This event focused on the CTSA Program hubs’ innovations that were spurred by the COVID pandemic and how to harness intentional disruption to foster similar innovation in the post-COVID world. In line with the
November 22, 2021The University of Pennsylvania will be conducting a mixed methods study, funded by NCATS through a bioethics supplement to the University of Pennsylvania’s CTSA, to examine institutional approaches to prioritizing COVID-19 trials. The goal of this study is to understand relevant processes and criteria applied during the pandemic, as well as perspectives on potentially extending these approaches to
The Center for Leading Innovation and Collaboration (CLIC), the coordinating center for the NCATS CTSA Program, is hosting this Un-Meeting. This is an unconventional meeting, which lacks the rules and structure of a traditional conference, focuses on bringing together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, public health professionals, healthcare innovators, and opinion leaders to discuss and develop innovative and effective ideas regarding climate change in human health.
The link between C2H2 and translational science is not intuitive for all. Working backward from climate-related disease to
CLICOver the last five years, CLIC has engaged stakeholders and partners across the consortium to amplify the research of CTSAs and communicate the impact of translational science.
