CCPH Urges NIH Support for Community Engagement! In comments submitted
on the future of the Clinical & Translational Science Award (CTSA)
program, we urge the National Center for Advancing Translational
Science (the new center that funds CTSAs) to make a strong &
unequivocal statement of its support for community engagement – and
then allocate the resources to back it up. Over 30 community and
academic partners, many involved in the CCPH-CTSA member interest
group, contributed to the development of the comments and signed onto
them.
