The CTSI Horizons program enhances clinical and translational research (CTR) by bringing together CHLA-based faculty at all career stages to collaborate in key focus areas such as qualitative research, clinical trials and healthcare delivery science. Leveraging SC-CTSI resources, the program supports small, topic-driven special interest groups and fosters partnerships between USC and CHLA investigators, to also help USC faculty connect with pediatric collaborators.

The Clinical Trials Special Interest Group seeks to enhance expertise in clinical trials research amongst faculty to create opportunities for methodological innovation, cross-disciplinary insights, and robust research outcomes.

Research Methods introduces the fundamental principles of study design and analysis for healthcare delivery science projects. It includes examples and step-by-step guidance to support grant proposal development.

The Seminar Series is an educational initiative that supports clinical and translational researchers through expert-led sessions focused on innovation, collaboration, and career development. Covering topics from scientific communication to regulatory science and team leadership, the series equips researchers with the tools and knowledge to accelerate the translation of discoveries into real-world health solutions.
