Greater Los Angeles CTSA Consortium

The Greater Los Angeles CTSA Consortium was established to leverage our local talents in collaborations that benefit both our local communities and our approaches to clinical research. The two main activities that are currently underway are (a) a Community Engagement working group that is developing and evaluating an intervention with promotoras to increase Latino representation in clinical trials research, and (b) a series of training opportunities offered by each consortium member for faculty and staff of the other members' institutions. Our collective goal is to collaborate to develop curricula and online courses that can ultimately be shared with the national consortia online while supporting collaborative efforts across the Greater Los Angeles area through onsite, in-person programs and seminars.
