In 2005, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced the
Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program - an
institution-based grant intended to re-engineer the clinical
research enterprise, speeding the time from pre-clinical discovery
to the development of therapies to improve human health. As
universities competed for CTSA funding and often struggled to
develop or recalibrate institutional infrastructures and research
support services, the face of pre-clinical and clinical research
changed dramatically. These changes (and their intended and
unintended consequences) introduced the possibility of new roles
for health sciences librarians, creating novel opportunities to
engage with researchers, research administrators and community
members as active partners in the research enterprise. This book
demystifies translational research by providing a comprehensive
historical background and context on the CTSA program, including
the impact of funding reductions and administrative changes. The
highlight of the book are case studies by librarians from CTSA
Consortium institutions. These case studies, including successes,
challenges, and lessons learned, will detail specific routes to
librarian involvement in translational research, including
collection development, creating and maintaining relationships with
researchers and administrators, instruction and training, data
management, team science and more. The variety of case studies,
including challenges and lessons learned, will help libraries that
are looking for ways to engage the translational research audiences
at their institutions, or those who currently work with CTS but
face new challenges due to declining federal research funds,
shifting institutional priorities, or other factors. The book will
not be a comprehensive accounting of librarian engagement at each
institutions but rather a sample of "best practices" to help
librarians develop programs and relationships relevant to
translational research, and a look at newly emerging opportunities
to leverage skills in information organization and dissemination.
