Major Challenges in Medical Research • Slow pace, cost, regulatory roadblocks, public trust • Translation to actual impact on health • Research relevance – broadly-engaged team science • Common terminology, data elements, data sharing • Vulnerable populations (pregnant women, children) • Integration and coordination between Academic Medical Centers and Community-based Hospitals
Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program • Established by NIH in 2006 • A national consortium of >50 research institutions • Under the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), one of 27 NIH Institutes and Centers established in 2011 • Mission: to develop innovative solutions that will improve the efficiency, quality, and impact of the process for turning observation in the laboratory, clinic, and community into interventions that improve the health of individuals and the public
Clinical and Translational Science Institutes (CTSIs) • Research Service • Study design & analysis • Clinical study & regulatory support • Informatics • Conveners & Connectors • Team Science • Collaboration • Multidisciplinary • Stakeholder & community-engagement • Change • Innovation & transformation • Science of Science • Process improvement • Address roadblocks • Education • Graduate certificate, Masters, and PhD programs • Professional development • Fellowship and career development programs
