NCATS shares resources to help increase diversity in clinical science workforces

NCATS' Center for Leading Innovation and Collaboration (CLIC) has released "From Insights to Action"–a resource for hubs looking for ways to increase the diversity of their clinical science workforce.

Looking for new strategies for your KL2 or TL1 program? Are you worried about a lack of diversity and inclusion within your institution? How are you ensuring the diversity of the clinical science workforce? Not sure where to start? From Insights to Action (FITA) is a collection of actionable questions inspired by hubs’ stories of ongoing progress and success in the Careers in Clinical & Translational Research metric.

This NCATS resource is divided into six primary sections, each represents a strategy followed by a stimulating set of questions within subtopics. CLIC encourages hubs to review this resource as an impetus for pointed discussions about equity, diversity, and inclusion. CLIC also hopes that you are inspired to extend these conversations to your internal partners, as well as external partners, new collaborators and your local communities.

“The From Insights to Action resource provides a summary of accumulated years of experience, dedication, and passion by the CTSA Program…” - NCATS

The University of Rochester Center for Leading Innovation and Collaboration is the coordinating center for the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program, funded by NCATS at the National Institutes of Health, Grant U24TR002260.
