Research & Study Design

The CHLA Research Data Special Interest Group was created to provide a professional community for faculty researchers and data specialists interested in using CHLA research data — including research informatics leads, data analysts, and those in data governance roles

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.

The CTSI Horizons program enhances clinical and translational research (CTR) by bringing together faculty at all career stages to collaborate in key focus areas such as qualitative research, clinical trials and CHLA Research Data. 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 Qualitative Special Interest Group seeks to enhance expertise in Qualitative research amongst faculty to create opportunities for methodological innovation, cross-disciplinary insights, and robust research outcomes. The group also aims to enhance faculty expertise, promote rigorous qualitative research, and increase the visibility and impact of qualitative scholarship within and beyond the two institutions.

Translational Science Education and Resources is an educational and community building initiative that supports knowledge and skill-building for Pilot applicants, K scholar applicants, SC CTSI folks, and any other interested party on translational science based on the translational science literature.
