CAS/GRAND Plenary Session
"Beyond CTSAs: Creating an Academic Home for Clinical and Translational Research"

The recent Clinical and Translational Science Award competition led many schools and hospitals to consider how they can best be structured to facilitate research in the future. Some institutions have announced that they will restructure, even if they are unsuccessful in the NIH competition. This session will discuss the issues considered by several schools in such research planning; how it will affect other key missions, including medical and graduate education; the lessons they have learned from the planning process; and, the barriers and opportunities presented by such efforts.

CAS Plenary Session
"Speeding the Translation of Science into Practice and Education"

Scientific and technological knowledge continues to expand exponentially, but the ability of clinical practitioners and medical educators to absorb and utilize this knowledge is limited and often delayed. This session will explore experiments and innovations in practice and teaching that aim to speed the transformation of practice and education in response to new scientific understandings and technical innovations.
