Forum Session: Strategies to align facilities with CTSA program requirements

Here you'll get the inside story on specific program and facility plans at two prominent medical institutions to blend research, teaching, and clinical programs to significantly shorten the time between medical research discoveries and patient care applications. Session leaders set out the specific ways in which their programs are changing, why they think these changes will work, their expectations, and the theory behind decisions about physical facility changes intended to aid and abet successful results. They detail specific program and facility features relating to NIH CTSA grant funding affecting research, teaching, and clinical care processes.
