The 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
Greetings from the Coordination, Communication, and Operations Support (CCOS) Center! Thus far, we have introduced stakeholders to 4 of our 6 project teams: Communications, Impact Analysis, Team Science, and Logistics. In this transition update, we will introduce and provide updates from our Training and Support Team. The CCOS Training and Support Team brings many years of combined expertise to
Greetings from the new Coordination, Communication, and Operations Support (CCOS) Center! This week, we’d like to introduce our Collaboration and Team Science staff and provide updates about our recent activities to support the CTSA Program. Our work fosters collaboration to address challenges in translational science by leveraging the diverse strengths and expertise of team members and
Greetings from the Coordination, Communication, and Operations Support (CCOS) Center! We’d like to take this opportunity to introduce the CCOS Logistics Team! You may have already met some team members during the CCOS shadowing sessions with CLIC, as we have been working closely with CLIC to transition support for the CTSA Program Groups and meetings. The CCOS Logistics Team is led by Lauren
CLIC 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
Objective
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.
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.

Background:
Introduction:
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.
Introduction:
COVID-19 altered research in Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) hubs in an unprecedented manner, leading to adjustments for COVID-19 research.
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.
In addition to restrictions on conducting research, COVID-19–related travel bans and scientific meeting cancellations have negatively affected scholars in the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Mentored Career Development Award (KL2) program.
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.
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.
