This Working Group aims to develop a shared framework for defining and evaluating success in translational science by analyzing Element E and Translational Science Pilot projects across CTSA hubs. Through the identification of common success factors, evaluation approaches, barriers, and outcomes, the group will create practical resources and best practices to support consistent assessment, dissemination, and continuous improvement of translational science initiatives across the CTSA Consortium.
Measuring Success in Translational Science

Overview
This Working Group aims to develop a shared framework for defining and evaluating success in translational science by analyzing Element E and Translational Science Pilot projects across CTSA hubs. Through the identification of common success factors, evaluation approaches, barriers, and outcomes, the group will create practical resources and best practices to support consistent assessment, dissemination, and continuous improvement of translational science initiatives across the CTSA Consortium.

Group Goals
Develop a generalizable coding system to evaluate Element E and TS Pilot projects.
Identify exemplar Element E and TS Pilot projects and characteristics associated with success.
Disseminate best practices and evaluation tools to strengthen Element E and TS Pilot programs across hubs
