Thematic Special Interest Groups

CTSA Thematic Special Interest Groups (TSIG) have self-formed across the consortium. With NIH participation, their direction is driven by CTSA and non-CTSA interests. The TSIGs are in varying levels of formation, and their range of activities includes:

• Developing collaborations with existing networks, societies and organizations
• Identifying specific research proposals for collaboration
• Obtaining support from NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs), research institutions, and societies
• Organizing workshops and meetings with support from NIH ICs, research institutions, and NIH conference grants
• Meeting regularly in informal settings (teleconferences and at other pre-existing meetings) to share and collaborate
