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.
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.
Group Goals
Establish and reinforce a TSI Community of Practice for CTSA evaluators, administrators, communicators, investigators, trainees and other relevant roles in CTSA hubs.
Develop an impact instrument to assess translational impact efforts across the CTSA hubs and communicate these findings.
Inform, develop, and disseminate evaluation tools, strategies, methods, best practices, and instruments to assess and communicate TSI in Clinical and Translational Science.
Identify Translational Impacts best practices, including standard metrics that can be utilized by CTSA hubs.
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.
Seed future TSI collaborations activities and advance the state of the art in TSI.
