CTSA Translational Impacts

Overview

The CTSA Translational Impacts Working Group focuses on impact assessment and a broader scope of impact metrics such as clinical and community benefits, legislation and policy, education, economic benefits, infrastructure impacts, team science benefits, and knowledge advancement that can be standardized and synergized across the consortium. This Working Group will build upon the work of the longstanding Translational Sciences Benefits Model Discussion Group to work collaboratively and intentionally on Translational Science Impact (TSI) and contribute to the annual Evaluators Group survey.  

Working Group Deliverables: 

 

1. Impact Instrument
2. TSI Toolkit Repository
3. Translational Impact Summit

 

Impact Focus: Develop standardized metrics, tools, and shared approaches to assess and communicate translational science impact across CTSA hubs and support consistent evaluation practices.

Group Goals

placeholder
Establish and reinforce a TSI Community of Practice for CTSA evaluators, administrators, communicators, investigators, trainees and other relevant roles in CTSA hubs.
placeholder
Develop an impact instrument to assess translational impact efforts across the CTSA hubs and communicate these findings.
placeholder
Inform, develop, and disseminate evaluation tools, strategies, methods, best practices, and instruments to assess and communicate TSI in Clinical and Translational Science.
placeholder
Identify Translational Impacts best practices, including standard metrics that can be utilized by CTSA hubs.
placeholder
Provide a forum to discuss and disseminate translational impacts knowledge while meeting key challenges such as the identification and characterization of translation, overcoming barriers to translate knowledge to impact, and developing effective mechanisms for dissemination and implementation of translational impacts.
placeholder
Seed future TSI collaborations activities and advance the state of the art in TSI.
