The 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

The Office of Translation to Practice (OTP) is housed in the Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences at Mayo Clinic. Established in 2015, the office is tasked with developing and managing novel tools, mechanisms, and processes to facilitate and accelerate the translation of products, such as drugs, biological agents, and medical devices, into practice. Since its inception, OTP is credited

INTRODUCTION Under-representation in health-related research is one of a multitude of factors that contribute to health disparities experienced by African American and Latinx communities, and has been brought to the forefront in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Barriers to research participation stem from historical social injustices, are multi-faceted and include factors specific to the

The Georgia CTSA Rapid Response Team expedited high-priority studies of experimental therapeutics and vaccines. Emory's first COVID-19 patient began receiving infusion therapy of Remdesivir within 48 hours as a result of Georgia CTSA's assistance in coordinating the approvals needed. Representatives from Emory research offices worked together in parallel to expedite 27 COVID-19 studies from March

Recognizing the diversity of populations within California and the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 on minority and low income communities, we have formed a statewide community-partnered collaborative funded by the NIH/NHLBI to address disparities in COVID-19 knowledge, awareness, and communication; vaccine trial participation; and vaccine hesitancy and accessibility. The statewide

A major impediment to dissemination and implementation of evidence-based medicine is mis- and disinformation, which are currently rampant. Mis- and disinformation influences health behaviors and results in adverse outcomes including delayed treatment, inappropriate self-treatment, low enrollment in clinical research, and health disparities. Raising awareness and increasing skills in addressing

The University of Pittsburgh Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) launched the optional Innovation Core in 2015 with three aims: 1) Develop advanced, experiential innovation training, networking and externship opportunities and support the academic career development for biomedical innovators; 2) Develop and disseminate new methods and processes that encourage and support innovative

As a result of the CTSA Program’s objective to strengthen multidisciplinary research infrastructure, hubs are uniquely poised to mobilize their vast resources to produce a rapid, nimble, multi-faceted approach to national public health emergencies. The Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences, the CTSA grantee at Washington University in St. Louis, is a critical contributor to the

Abstract Discovering effective methods to prevent, track, and treat COVID-19 is critical to improve outcomes and save lives. We designed a registry to phenotype the cohort of COVID-19 patients from the Electronic Health Record and developed a visualizer for inpatient data for researchers and clinical care teams. The main goals of the registry were to rapidly identify early risk factors; enable

Objectives: To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on clinical research and the use of electronic approaches to mitigate this impact. Methods: We compared the utilization of electronic consenting, remote visits, and remote monitoring by study monitors in all research studies conducted at Mayo Clinic sites (Arizona, Florida, and Minnesota) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (ie, between
