This guidance describes the publication support provided by the CTSA Program Coordinating Center for CTSA Program publications submitted to peer-reviewed journals or similar (white paper / perspective articles) for efforts associated with Enterprise Committees or Working Groups initiated on or after January 2020 or Discussion Forums (DF) that transitioned from a Working Group whose approved start date was on or after January 2020. Such associated groups are organized and overseen by NCATS and the CTSA Program Steering Committee, in conjunction with support from the CTSA Program Coordinating Center. Under the current Guidance all publications and editing payments must be made prior to the Coordinating Center’s end of grant (6/30/2022).
The purpose of this document is to clarify the different avenues for sharing, submitting and amplifying CTSA Program-related communications by both NCATS and CLIC.
