Coordination, Communication, and Operations Support

for the NCATS CTSA Program

The CTSA Program is designed to develop innovative solutions that will improve the efficiency, quality and impact of the process for turning observations in the laboratory, clinic and community into interventions that improve the health of individuals and the public.

Our Mission

The Coordination, Communication, and Operations Support (CCOS) Center serves as the coordinating center for the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program. Our primary goal is to facilitate the work of collaborative scientific teams within the CTSA, while also providing logistical support and ensuring a smooth flow of data, information, and insights throughout the network. To achieve this, the CCOS Center offers a range of services to CTSA stakeholders. These services include the development of websites and software applications, analysis of the real-world impact of the CTSA, communication across the consortium, support for collaboration and team science, logistics assistance for meetings and conferences, and program-specific training.

Announcements and Events

Release Version 1.32 of the CCOS Public Website

The latest release to the CCOS website includes updates to the user registration form and user profiles. CCOS databases were updated with a revised list of organizations and hub-organization relationships to enable the automatic assignment of a user's CTSA hub based on their organization in the user registration form. The user profile page was also updated to enable a user to see if they use separate email addresses for CCOS login and CTSA group communications.

CCOS Website Search (Releases v1.30 and v1.31)

Users can now search the CCOS website by keyword to easily find information, documentation, and guidance. The CCOS website search feature is available from any CCOS webpage and results are returned in four categories: CTSA Groups and Meetings, Resources, News, and Help. Any material that requires a registered CCOS account will appear in the search results, but will not be accessible until the user logs in. Some content is not included in the search feature, including the CTSA Member Directory, the Pod Submission Archive, and the About page.
