Best Practices and Recommendations
Best Practices
Each individual site has the potential to improve the pace of translation accelerated by promoting and adopting best practices, tools, and methods originated at other sites or collectively through consortium collaboration.

Best practices listed below were approved by the former CCEC and/or CCSC.
