Novel Clinical and Translational Methodologies

The Clinical and Translational Methodology Development (CATMD) Committee promotes communication, collaboration and intellectual exploration of novel methodologies that support CCTS goals overall, to (1) create a true “academic home” for clinical and translational science; (2) to enhance outreach pathways to confront health issues endemic to underserved populations by identifying and disseminating nationally relevant paradigms in interdisciplinary outreach engagement; and (3) to grow the clinical and translational science research teams of the future.

The CATMD Committee brings together faculty with wide-ranging expertise in methodology development in order to:

  • Identify broad-based candidate methodologies and methodology resources as the focus for initial investigator “orientation” to the possibilities for Type 1 and Type 2 translation and as areas for CCTS support and funding.
  • Plan, develop and convene meetings, workshops, lectures and seminars designed to attract interested faculty and community practitioners to open forums on new methods.
  • Foster transdisciplinary collaborations to enhance and expedite emerging methodologies and stimulate new and relevant scientific directions.
  • Prioritize and leverage CCTS support for promising methodologies with strong potential to accelerate the translation of basic science discoveries to tangible improvements in patient care.
