Communications Key Function Committee
The Communications Key Function Committee serves as a forum for CTSA representatives and NIH participants to share local and national CTSA communications activities and experiences, identify CTSA communication needs, and generate ideas to address these needs. Key objectives of this committee are to provide input into the development of the CTSAcentral.org public and log-in sites, identify target audiences/stakeholders and respective communications goals and tactics, and develop effective communication channels to target audiences/stakeholders within, across and beyond the CTSA Consortium.
