About CCOS

CTSA Program

ncats.nih.gov

CCOS contributes to bringing the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) CTSA Program together as one network. When the consortium moves in sync, ideas travel farther and patients benefit faster.

Across hubs, we align people, data, and day-to-day operations. We coordinate groups and meetings, communicate program updates and CTSA impact clearly, and streamline logistics. Program data turns into insights, and shared tools and training help teams act with confidence.

Protecting Federal Research Funding Through ClinicalTrials.gov Support

Clinical research teams must meet complex federal reporting requirements to maintain accurate public records and protect research continuity. Support from the UC Davis CTSC helped strengthen oversight, consultation, and coordination of ClinicalTrials.gov across the institutional research portfolio. In one case, NIH identified a mismatch between information reported in a Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) and the corresponding ClinicalTrials.gov record. As part of what appeared to be a new NIH review process, funding actions could not proceed until both systems were aligned. Tiffany T. Norris, M.S., ClinicalTrials.gov Management Specialist with the UC Davis CTSC, helped the study team navigate reporting requirements, reconcile information across systems, and complete the review process. NIH cleared the RPPR and issued the Notice of Award without interruption. Across the portfolio, this ClinicalTrials.gov support function monitored 704 non-cancer studies and identified 69 issues.
