Nearly 200 people – trainees, staff, faculty and community members – visited the CCTS “hub” at PCAMS for the CCTS’ annual Open House, where we also took the opportunity to celebrate our recent grant renewal to officially launch “CCTS 3.0.” Attendees walked throughout the house learning about the many ways CCTS accelerates clinical and translational research, finding new collaborators and enjoying refreshments along the way. Guest found plenty of new information on CCTS clinical trials initiatives and multi-site studies at tables featuring Research Commons, Training Academy, Clinical Translation, Community Engagement, and Special Modules (the CCTS domains).
