CCOS (CTSA Program)

In 2022, a 36-member #CTSAProgram work group from 17 institutions came together to create a maturity model for Clinical Trial Management Ecosystems - helping clarify operations, set benchmarks, and address barriers in clinical trials: ow.ly/3C9F50Z2LWT

How can randomized experiments remain valid when outcomes are missing? On 5/28, 12 PM ET, learn about new, efficient randomization inference methods for informative attrition, with applications to sharp & bounded nulls, simulations, & an empirical example: ow.ly/BGTW50Z2LKg

Join VCU on May 27 for Evaluating Your Research Impact - a session focused on how to assess, communicate, and strengthen the influence of your research. Learn practical approaches to measuring impact and demonstrating the value of your work: ow.ly/yMfW50Z2JP3

The UMass Center for Clinical and Translational Science has received a seven-year, $50 million renewal award from the @NIH: direc.to/oLxK Programs that facilitate community participation and expand data aggregation are among the funded projects. @UMassCCTS @CCOS_CTSA

The new CCOS homepage is live! Explore a refreshed design, improved search, quick access to Hub and Member Directories, upcoming events, featured impact stories, latest news, and #CTSAProgram resources, all in one place: ow.ly/o28I50Z2l8o

The @Jacobs_Med_UB Clinical and Translational Science Institute 2026 K Scholar cohort includes faculty from the University at Buffalo and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center whose research interests range from lung cancer to artificial intelligence: ow.ly/O78450Z1HbF

A team from the @UR_Med developed a time-series AI machine learning model that better predicts the lung disease Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) in newborns than current tools. Learn more about their publication: ow.ly/wTFo50Z1GNR

A new @PennStateCTSI publication highlights a major research communication gap: most study participants never receive results. The study shares community-informed strategies for helping researchers better communicate findings to the public: ow.ly/Rv1F50Z1GFY

Research success takes more than technical skills. A @PennStateCTSI study found coaching plus DISC framework-based leadership workshops helped early-stage researchers build communication, teamwork, time management, and leadership capabilities: ow.ly/W3qu50Z1axj

Collaboration is at the heart of impactful research. In this profile, Dr. Callie Brown shares how CTSI funding, mentorship, and infrastructure supported her career development and helped advance community-centered research with real-world clinical impact: ow.ly/91Fk50YZc1h

SC CTSI’s Regulatory Science team published a new manuscript on its Clinical Trial Quality Training Series, a self-paced program helping investigators and research staff strengthen monitoring, auditing, and FDA inspection readiness: ow.ly/bhw450YZbYP

Congratulations to Dr. Lindsay Squeglia of MUSC, winner of the 2026 ACTS Award for Supporting an Excellent Translational Science Workforce. Her work is advancing mentorship, youth engagement, and the future of translational science: ow.ly/lryb50YZbWO

Communicating science clearly is just as important as conducting it. Through the TRIumph program, UAMS researchers are learning how to share their work with confidence, connect with community audiences, and strengthen public understanding of science: ow.ly/NlLj50YZ8nz

Looking back on this year’s workshop, we’re grateful for the thoughtful conversations and shared commitment to advancing rigorous, reproducible, and trustworthy real-world data and evidence. Plenty to reflect on, and even more to carry forward. ow.ly/ReZM50YXMGi

From AI-enabled prior authorization and CTSA impact stories to hub innovations, research publications, NIH notices, and upcoming events, this month's Ansible highlights the momentum across the translational science community! ow.ly/BoYS50YYoPO

How do we build real-world data platforms people can trust? With experts from UNC, Cincinnati Children’s, & PEDSnet, this session explores the governance models, ethical questions, & patient voices needed to create sustainable, trustworthy RWD platforms. ow.ly/HS4j50YXMwW

This expert panel brings together leading voices from TriNetX, Stanford, and the FDA to explore the study design and methodological challenges involved in generating high-quality, rigorous, and reproducible real-world evidence. ow.ly/Ve9s50YXMc4

We’re kicking off tomorrow's Collaborative Workshop with a dynamic session on the future of real-world data & evidence, & the rigor & reproducibility principles shaping the field. Featuring Stanford’s Dr. Manisha Desai, this is one you won’t want to miss. ow.ly/Y2I950YXM6n

NEW addition to the CCOS website: a #CTSAProgram Impact section including high-level impact indicators and an Impact Story directory: ow.ly/NzNr50YWa8G Do you have a CTSA Impact Story? Review our guidance and learn how to submit: ow.ly/mk8y50YWa8J

How do we move discovery into real-world benefit? At the CTSA Translational Science Impact Summit, experts, policymakers, and community leaders focused on measuring and communicating translational research impact across health, policy, and practice: ow.ly/xL3i50YVlSB
