CTSA PI FOCUS GROUP
New PI Focus Group Convenes Key Leaders Across CTSAs
The CD2H is committed to widespread CTSA program engagement in order to build concrete solutions that address meaningful pain points. To achieve these objectives, we’ve recently formed a CD2H PI focus group comprising key leaders from within the CTSA community. The group’s role is to help us determine key needs and to help guide our initiatives. We thank them for their willingness to participate and look forward to our first in-person meeting with them later this month at the CTSA Fall meeting.

COMMUNITY WORKGROUPS
Great Turnout, Input at First Community Workgroup Meetings
We are thrilled with the turnout and engagement at the first quarterly meetings of the Data and Software Community Workgroups, held in September. More than 95 people joined the Data Workgroup meeting and more than 80 participated in the Software Workgroup meeting. At both meetings, participants contributed valuable insights and ideas to shape future plans for these Workgroups. We’ve compiled notes from the meetings’ brainstorming sessions and are working through them now. You can view these notes and full meeting recaps by visiting our blog. Look for details on the upcoming People Community Workgroup meeting in the Events section below.
