Grant Description

Purpose. The CERTs Scientific Forum (CS Forum) has as its primary goal the achievement of synergistic and impactful research and educational collaborations of the CERTs Research Centers (RCs) with each other and with stakeholders and partners in the larger therapeutics research and education community. The CERTs Research Centers (RCs) conduct individual and independent theme-based research and education activities on the optimal use of therapeutics and are the subject of a separate, but related FOA (RFA-HS-11-004). The CS Forum convenes the CERTs through meetings of its National Steering Committee (SC) and also through CERTs workgroups and committees that address important and common issues in therapeutics which draw upon the aggregated experience and expertise of the CERTs RCs and their partners; the CS Forum thereby supports the CERTs in addressing 5 broad programmatic interest areas: (1) comparative effectiveness, (2) patient safety, (3) tool development, enhancement, and/or validation, (4) health care system interventions, and (5) translation of research findings into practice or policy. In addition to supporting the CERTs SC and RCs, the CS Forum supports a minimum of one major collaborative CERTs project/activity annually based upon input and recommendations of the CERTs RCs and SC.
