Abstract Background/Objective: The Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program aims to enhance the quality, efficiency, impact of translation from discovery interventions that improve human health. CTSA hubs at medical research institutions across United States develop test innovative tools, methods, processes, offering core resources training for clinical translational (CTR) workforce. Hubs have developed services different domains, such as informatics pilot studies, provide ad hoc expertise staffing local teams. Although these can efficient, cost-effective ways cover skills gaps implement rigorous three CTSAs varying size found majority investigators were single domain service users, likely missing opportunities further their work. Methods: Through interviews with users a survey managers, this exploratory study identify barriers using multiple modules solutions overcome those barriers. Results: Barriers include challenges in finding information about services, unclear or unknown user needs, users’ lack funding engage services. More issues identified largest CTSA. Conclusions: represents small subset hubs, we anticipate our findings proposed will be relevant broader community. This provides foundational use own efforts increase utilization methods used more comprehensive studies focus on explaining relationship between features rates versus cross-module use.
