  2. Vision for the CTSA Program • Strengthen Clinical Research as an academic discipline by creating a ‘home’ and a career structure. • Support the clinical and translational researcher through provision of resources that are most needed. • Speed clinical and translational research through resource and data sharing. • Advance the safety and quality of research through adoption of good clinical practices and effective use of informatics.

  3. Each academic health center will create a home for clinical and translational science NIH & other government agencies Clinical Research Ethics Trial Design Advanced Degree-Granting Programs Biomedical Informatics CTSA HOME Industry Clinical Resources Participant & Community Involvement Biostatistics Regulatory Support Healthcare organizations

  5. The transformation process • In 2005, 66 universities were associated with 78 GCRCs where 14,760 investigators had 9257 protocols: 3245 publications were reported • By 2011 NCRR expenditure on clinical research infrastructure will rise to $500M from $333M. • Infrastructure/training support increase by ~ 40% • Transformation to integrated consortium • GCRCs had Research Subject Advocates – CTSAs designate their own preferred individual.

  6. Organization of CTSAs • Include an institution that can award higher degrees in clinical research • Include research education and career development activities • Cooperative agreements ensure that awardees work together as a consortium • CTSAs send representatives to steering committees and workgroups

  7. Consortium Governance & Organization Governance Manual available at http://ctsaweb.org/Docs/CTSA_Governance_Manual.pdf

  8. CTSA Steering Committees and Workgroups • Embody the expertise of the Consortium • Provide a forum for dialogue with the NIH • Identify needs, goals and priorities • Serve as a platform to adopt common standards • Have deliverables and timetables

  9. Alternative IRB models workgroup Created to: • Identify conditions favorable for pilot projects to test alternative IRB models • Share experience with regional reciprocity and common IRBs • Promote common consent language • Develop metrics and identify roadblocks • Address IRB differences e.g., in pediatrics
