CTSI-CN Leadership Statement
The CTSI-CN offers our heartfelt condolences to the family of George Floyd and all victims of racism and prejudice. Our mission is to advance the health and well-being of our community, including its minority and underserved populations.
We will listen, we will learn, and we will think creatively about how research initiatives can help move us towards solutions.
Most importantly, we will not turn away. We will be present to support our researchers and our communities through this difficult time in our city and our nation.

Have you ever borrowed code from a Medium blog post or a stack coverflow thread only to find that it doesn't work as advertised? Spent hours trying to figure out an error message? You might agree that debugging can be one of the most frustrating parts of programming. This intermediate-level workshop will introduce techniques for diagnosing errors in Python code and will cover some best practices that can make your code more robust, easier to maintain, and more reproducible.

Building on a basic knowledge of R and introductory statistics, this workshop will walk you through the R functionality you'll need to use when conducting hypothesis tests on categorical data. We will practice reading in data, creating 2x2 tables, conducting tests of proportion, chi-square tests, and computing measures of association. It is recommended that you have used R before (even if you consider yourself a beginner) and it is also recommended that you have taken an introductory statistics course.

Now accepting applications for the 2022-2023 Academic Year! The Global Health Initiative at Childrens National Hospital seeks to foster and encourage the development of research that addresses key pediatric global health challenges, improves health outcomes in resource-limited settings, and favorably positions faculty to obtain extramural funding in pediatric global health research. Projects to be considered must be conducted in a low or middle-income country (LMIC) on a pediatric topic of importance to that country and/or have direct relevance to emerging global threats. Proposals to study a health issue in a developing country that could be studied using a US population are not encouraged and will receive a lower score.

"Re-engineering the Clinical Research Enterprise in Response to COVID-19: The CTSA Experience"
The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the greatest global public health crises of our lifetime. Across the country, institutions in the CTSA Program responded quickly to it, pivoting research and creating new programs to respond to the outbreak. This special theme issue of the Journal of Clinical and Translational Science (JCTS) reflects on these changes, shares lessons learned and discusses which practices can continue in the future to advance translational science. -
