Are you interested in improving your team’s processes to make collaborative science more effective and efficient? MICHR (Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research) is actively recruiting for a #NIH funded study: Information Management Prototype for Clinical and Translational Research (IMPACT-CTR). This study will evaluate tools and strategies teams use to conduct collaborative translational research. Findings will be used to develop a learning module to help teams improve their approach to information management. Learn more about participating in this study here: https://ow.ly/u0tq50UcHkC #TranslationalScience #InformationManagement #CollaborativeScience #CTSAProgram

LAST CALL! ?? This Monday, Nov. 18, you have the chance to listen in on Rinad Beidas, PhD, discussing implementation science and behavioral economics! ?? https://lnkd.in/gZv9w8bT #virtualseminar #freeevent #learning #implementationscience

A packed 2024 Fall @NCATS #CTSA meeting has been engaging, enlightening, and inspiring! It was great to see so many colleagues talk about how they are impacting health of people within their communities and across the nation. Topics of primary care PBRNs, Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI)/CTSA collaborations, health equity, translational research and translational science, and where and how AI and LLMs fit. Congrats to all teams involved, and eapecially #RuthO’Hara, #NCATS_DCI, and CTSA CCOS Center.

Great discussion this morning with other CTSA Hubs at the CTSA Fall Meeting regarding the difference between Translational Research and Translational Science. The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at NIH defines: ‘Translation’ as the process of turning observations in the laboratory, clinic and community into interventions that improve the health of individuals and communities – from diagnostics, preventions, and treatments to medical procedures and behavioral changes. ‘Translational research’?as the endeavor to traverse a particular step of the translational process for a particular target or disease. ‘Translational science’?(TS) is the field of investigation focused on understanding the scientific and operational principles underlying each step of the translational process. While translational research targets specific diseases or conditions, translational science takes a broader approach, addressing the scientific and operational challenges that are common across many, if not all, diseases. These shared obstacles slow down and hinder the development of effective new treatments. The CTSC is committed to helping researchers with clinical and translational science understanding through innovative collaboration, funding, and training opportunities.

The #CTSAProgram is shifting its focus from "translational research" to "translational science," but what is the difference? ? Recreational baker and UR CTSI Director of Research Education Alfred Vitale, Ph.D., has a helpful pie-based analogy to clear things up--and it might come in handy as you prepare for holiday meals, too! ? After tuning into this morning's #2024FallCTSAMtg session on the topic, check out our video and share it with your translational science and baker friends! #URochesterResearch CTSA CCOS Center & National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS)

Dr. Perry Tsai, assistant professor in the department of psychiatry at University of Illinois Chicago, is exploring better ways of testing for cognitive dysfunction- or "#brainfog"- in people suffering from #LongCOVID through the use of digital technologies. Listen to the full episode here- https://lnkd.in/gQ6xPUUU Featuring mentors Alex Leow, Neil Pliskin & Jerry Krishnan, as well as BiAffect. Supported by CTSA CCOS Center/National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS).
