Workforce Development
- Emory UniversityThe Clinical Research Workforce is critical for the sustainability of the research enterprise. The skills needed to staff research projects are complex and multileveled, yet resources to advance careers in this field are scarce. Turnover of research staff is expensive and threatens timely completion of projects. To address these challenges, the Georgia CTSA’s Translational Workforce Development
September 29, 2021Many children who undergo tracheostomy placement, a surgical placement of breathing tubes for upper airways, endure repeated bacterial respiratory tract infections. These infections lead to frequent hospitalizations. Unfortunately, clinicians have lacked evidence-based guidelines for diagnosing and treating these infections with antibiotics. Now Christopher Russell, MD, MS, a former SC Clinical
September 29, 2021We sat down (virtually!) with Dr. Nhu Tran, a recipient of the SC CTSI Mentored Career Development in Clinical and Translational Science award. We hear about her new K23 grant from the National Institute of Nursing Research, within the National Institutes of Health, and what she hopes to learn. Congratulations to Dr. Tran on this great accomplishment! 1. In layperson’s terms, tell us a little

CLICThis webcast identifies appropriate personnel for your informatics research team and suggestions for addressing their training needs.
CLICThis webcast examines common data quality issues and provides suggestions for correcting them.
To accelerate translation, researchers need access to a broad range of data from a variety of sources (electronic health records, imaging, genetics, behavioral, etc.). These sources manage and store data differently, which creates the need for standardization. The Informatics Common Metric, which is in its second year, addresses the need to harmonize data across the CTSA Program. This will enhance
Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is recruiting for a Project Manager, Instructional Design & Technology, to support the Professional Education Program. Under the supervision of the Director of Professional Education, the Project Manager is responsible for collaborating with Tufts CTSI partner faculty and staff in the design and delivery of education activities and other- Journal of clinical and translational science
In order to conduct translational science, scientists must combine domain-specific expertise with knowledge on how to identify and cross translational hurdles, and insights on positioning discoveries for the next translational stage.

February 02, 2021When the pandemic hit, clinical researchers jumped into action, starting up trials of COVID vaccines and treatments in record time. Without experienced and knowledgeable clinical research coordinators to run those trials, South Carolinians would not have had early access to these cutting-edge tools for fighting the virus. Those research professionals were at the ready, thanks to an initiativeTo elicit participant feedback regarding the Workforce Development session during the 2020 Fall Program Meeting.
University Of Southern CaliforniaThis toolkit is intended to be a resource for researchers, health care providers and the community who are interested in conducting community-engaged research. This community partnership toolkit outlines the process and approach needed during every phase of a project (e.g. relationship building, proposal development, project execution and dissemination).

In this video, an SC CTSI specialist introduces the basic characteristics of community-engaged research and the rationale for this research approach, including the development of health solutions among groups that have historically been underrepresented in medical study. Clinical and translational investigators learn the ways in which community-engaged research differs from traditional research

University Of Southern CaliforniaBackground: Study monitoring is an essential and routine quality function in industry-sponsored trials. However, access to high quality study monitoring is often lacking in investigator-initiated trials conducted in academic medical centers. Indeed, two separate surveys of research professionals in Southern California revealed that only about 65% reported monitoring in their investigator-initiated- Image

Now entering its 16th consecutive year, the CTSC continues to serve biomedical research projects by providing services and resources to investigators, staff, scholars and trainees, and community partners. As an honest and resourceful broker, the CTSC partners with UC Davis schools and colleges engaged in life science and translational research to support collaborative projects with the potential to improve health care. The CTSC provides centralized resources dedicated to facilitating biomedical research through innovation, collaboration, and expertise. As an extension of our national consortium, the CTSC is charged with advancing human health through:
1) Training and cultivating the translational science workforce
2) Engaging patients and communities in every phase of the translational process
3) Promoting the integration of special and underserved populations in translational research across the human lifespan
4) Innovating processes to increase the quality and efficiency of translational research, particularly of multisite trials
5) Advancing the use of cutting-edge informatics
Through its various programs and resources, the UC Davis CTSC provides the essential infrastructure for building research teams of the future to improve human health.

January 23, 2019Several challenges confront individuals who would like to pursue a research career, one of which being the escalating costs of advanced education and training in medicine and clinical specialties. This financial burden often leads scientists to abandon research careers for higher-paying private industry or private practice positions. To counteract that financial pressure, Congress established the
