To elicit participant feedback on the 2018 Fall CTSA Administrators Meeting.
The Fall CTSA Program Meeting, which took place on October 22 and 23, 2018 in Washington, DC, included evaluations for the Program Meeting, the Poster Session and the Administrators Meeting. The evaluations included collecting information on attendees’ meeting/session satisfaction and experience. These reports summarize quantitative item results and outlines common themes and specific recommendations from open ended qualitative responses.
The survey was distributed both onsite (in hard copy form) directly following the end of the meeting, and also sent via email to all who had attended. Questions addressed meeting content, venue, schedule, logistics, and overall meeting value to participants, as well as feedback on how the meeting could be improved. These responses will be incorporated into best practices and potential improvements.
In general, responses were positive, and indicated that the meeting met the attendees’ expectations. Overall, they were very pleased with presentations, content, and networking opportunities. Areas for improvement included reduced didactic time in favor of more discussion time and learning about program partners and information updates.
