  1. CTSA Consortium Organization and BERD Iris Obrams, MD, MPH, PhD Division for Clinical Research Resources National Center for Research Resources November 20, 2008

  2. Topics • Update on the overall CTSA mission • Update on governance and organization • Strategic planning process • BERD organization and planning • Regional and collaborative networks

  3. CTSA mission statement The goal of the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program is to transform the local, regional and national environment for clinical and translational science, thereby increasing the efficiency, quality and speed of clinical and translational research.

  4. Consortium governance & organization Governance Manual available at http://ctsaweb.org/Docs/CTSA_Governance_Manual.pdf

  5. CTSA governance • CTSA Consortium Steering Committee (CTSA PIs with NIH representatives) with an Executive Committee • Child Health Oversight Committee • Four Strategic Goals Committees • Additional committees for each key function across the consortium (e.g., BERD, Research Education, Biomedical Informatics, Regulatory Affairs, etc).

  6. Major areas of planning activity • Governance: operations/executive group size, delegated powers • Promoting consortium activities: supplements and funding announcements • Strategic goals

  7. CTSA Strategic Goals 1 and 2 CTSA strategic goals (1 and 2) and subgoals: 1. Enhancing national clinical and translational research capability Clinical research management Research infrastructure Phenotyping 2. Enhancing the training and career development of clinical and translational scientists

  8. CTSA Strategic Goals 3 and 4 CTSA strategic goals (3 and 4) and subgoals: 3. Enhancing consortium-wide collaborations National resource inventory Data sharing Social networking 4.
