Focus on Unmet Needs

Product image

Focus on pursuing scientific goals that address unmet scientific, patient or population health needs.

Example approaches:

  • Scientific Needs: Contribute to research advances in under-investigated areas of science or on scientific questions that present unique research challenges or disincentives (e.g., currently untreatable diseases; de-risking targets).
  • Patient and Population Health Needs: Advance research to develop solutions for unmet patient and population health needs.

CTSI Horizons - Clinical Trials Special Interest Group

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.
