Clinician scientists tend to be well-suited for leading biomedical research but not for completing research data analytics, especially in large systems like the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) data enclave. Data scientists tend to be well-suited for completing analytics but not for leading biomedical research. Therefore, clinician scientist and data scientist partnerships are critical
The CTSA Visiting Scholar program consists of giving the virtual CTSA Grand Rounds lecture, which is open to the entire CTSA Consortium, and virtual meetings between KL2 Scholars and faculty at the host institution and their KL2 peers. There are two main goals of this program. The first is to offer the opportunity to serve as a visiting professor and help make connections with faculty that will
Dear TL1 Directors, The Inaugural TL1 Symposium will bring together TL1 fellows from across CTSA hubs to present their research and network with other fellows and faculty. We invite you to save the date for the event, and we ask that you share with your trainees and encourage them to submit an abstract. This inaugural event is hosted by Institute for Translational Medicine (ITM), and co-sponsored
Vasculitis refers to a group of rare diseases that involve inflammation of blood vessels, which disrupts blood flow and often causes damage to the body’s organs. The cause of most forms of vasculitis remains unknown, and treatments involve the use of strong medications that can have serious side effects. The Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium (VCRC) is an international, multicenter clinical
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease that blocks the signal from nerve to muscle, producing weakness. The nature of the disease can range from isolated severe vision problems, like drooping eyelids or double vision, to profound general weakness leading to breathing muscle failure. Although the cause of MG is not known, the disease appears to vary based on several factors, including the
A leading cause of illness and death worldwide is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a group of lung diseases that make it difficult to breath. The COPD Outcomes-based Network for Clinical Effectiveness & Research Translation (CONCERT) is a consortium of six Clinical Centers and a Data Coordinating Center whose mission is to pool their expertise to ease the suffering caused by COPD. The
With an emphasis on educational issues and a goal of sharing resources, best practices and facilitating collaboration, members of the Midwest Consortium (MC) partner to strengthen clinical research education programs, mentoring, and career development opportunities for scholars. The Midwest Consortium for education and research collaboration began in 2006 with three Roadmap K12 institutions
Founded on mutual interest rather than geographic proximity, the Sharing Partnership for Innovative Research in Translation (SPIRiT) Consortium links six CTSAs together to jointly develop innovative resources to support effective translational research. Consortium goals include promoting a sharing infrastructure for research data, tools, resources, and bio-specimens; establishing a network of
The Institute for Translational Medicine (ITM) aims to make research breakthroughs happen and to put those discoveries into the real world to improve health. The ITM is a partnership between the University of Chicago and Rush in collaboration with Advocate Health Care, the Illinois Institute of Technology, Loyola University Chicago, and NorthShore University HealthSystem. The goal of the ITM
