The National Center for Advancing Translational Science has released a CTSA Program Request for Information (RFI), and your input is valuable. This request is for feedback on how the CTSA Program might be strengthened to meet its broad scientific mission of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical research and translational science. The CTSA Program supports a national network of medical research institution, their partners and collaborators—all working together to speed the translation of research discoveries into improved patient care by tackling system-wide problems in clinical and translational research that no single team can overcome.
Possible areas for comment include, but are not limited to:
- Barriers and solutions to improving the use of basic research findings to inform clinical care
- Workforce development
- Community engagement, health disparities, and dissemination
This request closes on October 25th. Everyone is encouraged to share pertinent feedback directly with Dr. Robert Kimberly, Director of CCTS, at
