CTSA - Clinical & Translational Science Awards

The mission of this Group is to review and comment on protocol processing issues from initial protocol development up to the point of subject enrollment on clinical trials. Some of these include: designing, drafting, and editing of protocols and informed consent documents; review and revision by supervisory and regulatory bodies; contracting and other intellectual property (IP) issues; compliance with regulations and policies including federal, state, and local governments, and all relevant regulatory bodies and agencies; budgeting and funding considerations; administrative, facilities, and technical support issues; human resource protocol processing support mechanisms such as systems engineers, teams, mentors, managers, concierges, and consultants; and technical support/electronic protocol management. This Group will address methods of improving clinical research management at CTSA institutions and will explore methods of making the Consortium effective in this regard. Potential methods include systematic investigations, use of metrics, public presentations, and publication of its findings.
