Surveys
Survey Team
The CCOS Survey Team supports CTSA program groups to design, develop, and implement surveys as well as analyze survey results to harness some of the knowledge and experiences across the CTSA. The goal is to gain a deeper and more data-driven understanding of issues of importance to the CTSA Program, identify trends across the program, elucidate pain points, evoke discussion, discover opportunities and innovations, inform decisions, and document impact.

The 6 Stages of a Survey
The survey process follows a structured workflow to ensure quality and compliance. The Planning and Design phase establishes objectives, scope, and purpose through intake meetings, literature reviews, and feedback from working group leads. In the Development phase, survey questions are drafted, designed in REDCap, reviewed, and refined through pre-testing. The Approval cycle secures ethical and institutional reviews, including IRB, NCATS, and CTSA Program Steering Committee and Group approvals, with edits integrated at each stage. Survey Testing involves evaluating functionality and usability, potentially pilot testing with a small group to collect real data and identify issues before full deployment to ensure optimization prior to launch. As needed, the survey will go back through further development and approvals until finalized. During the Distribution phase, the survey is disseminated, reminders are sent, and it is closed after the designated period. Finally, the Analysis and Reporting phase involves summarizing data, conducting analysis, and sharing the final report with stakeholders, ensuring compliance throughout.

Audience: Hub Lead Administrators To survey hubs and assess the scope of involvement in pediatric clinicals trials, infrastructure/support, barriers, and needs.

Audience: Targeted dissemination based on the submissions from Phase 1 Survey The WG aims to conduct a survey of PIs, administrators, and Hub informatics platforms/leads to identify investigators and groups with a research focus on disease states/conditions that disproportionately affect women; present differently in women; or exist only in subjects who are female at birth. This includes investigators and groups performing women's health research through either their current CTSA mechanisms, or through individual/other program awards (NIH, AHA, ARPA-H, etc.). The overarching goal of the survey would be to facilitate networking and collaboration opportunities across CTSA Hubs.

Audience:Phase 1: Enterprise Committees: Collaboration & Engagement, Workforce Development. Phase 2: This is dependent upon the survey response rates. PIs/Administrators will forward the survey details to Team Science Champion/facilitator/leader contact at their institution.The ACTS Team Science Professionals Special Interest Group (specifically, the Evaluation Working Group) is conducting a landscape assessment of the state of Team Science Professionals across all CTSA hubs. We consider a Team Science Professional to be anyone who is an educator, scholar, and/or practitioner of Team Science, as well as those aspiring to deepen their understanding and grow in the field of Team Science. Team Science is instantiated very differently across CTSA hubs and institutions. We are trying to gain a comprehensive view of team science efforts across CTSA hubs particularly as it relates to the professional efforts of the individuals who work in Team Science.

Audience: Hub PIs, Hub Lead Administrators, Evaluators Consortium Group This survey is part of a national effort to refine and strengthen impact measures across the CTSA consortium. It builds on prior concept mapping research and comes at a key moment in our CTSA funding landscape. This effort is being led as a collaborative, interdisciplinary effort from both CTSA Administrators and CTSA Evaluators.The objectives of this survey are to:Assess the utility of existing indicatorsSurface any gaps, andGather examples of best practices

October 1, 2025
Audience: Hub PIs, Hub lead Administrators The purpose of this survey is to collect information about whether and how CTSA hubs are participating in and/or supporting learning health system (LHS) activities of a health system or healthcare organization. To our knowledge, this will be the first effort to gain a more comprehensive understanding of whether, and how, the CTSA Consortium is using its unique expertise to directly support improvements in clinical care and healthcare provider organizations. CTSA hubs' expertise in research methods, dissemination and implementation, health informatics, and community and stakeholder engagement offer critical supports to promote and strengthen LHS work. Yet, there is a lack of baseline knowledge about whether CTSAs are partnering with LHS activities and, if so, strategies for making the partnership successful.
