CTN Translation & Implementation SIG

The SIG aims to enhance the CTN platform by examining implementation factors in clinical trials, in order to increase understanding of the likelihood for successful translation. The SIG likewise aims to improve the equitable sustainment of CTN-studied interventions that have been proven to be effective.

The SIG meets bimonthly via Zoom at Noon Eastern on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, and the workgroups meet during the months in between.
