is pleased to announce that Clifford Parnell Harrison, CEO and Founder of Blue Bridge, has joined our Stakeholder Expert Panel (SEP)!

Blue Bridge is dedicated to facilitating access to improved health outcomes for Greater Boston communities. Mr. Harrison’s extensive experience and passion will provide invaluable insights to inform Tufts CTSI initiatives. In his role, Mr. Harrison will provide feedback on researchers’ stakeholder engagement plans and contribute to the improvement of trainings and education for clinical research staff.

Mr. Harrison brings more than a decade of experience in business development roles within the life sciences and commercial real estate industries. A graduate of Northeastern University College of Professional Studies, he resides in Roxbury, Mass. with his wife and kids. He serves on the board of his alma mater, Nativity Preparatory School of Boston, and the National Center of Afro-American Artists.

Tufts CTSI’s Stakeholder Expert Panel (SEP), now more than 40 members strong, includes community members, patients and their families, researchers, medical industry representatives, and health care providers, who share their varied perspectives, lived experience, and expertise across Tufts CTSI. Panel members are involved in various CTSI activities ranging from training and education to co-developing and co-delivering interventions.

We are now less than three weeks away from our virtual Translational Science Day 2025! The theme of this year’s symposium is "Beyond Thoughts and Prayers: Translating Gun Policy Science into Action to Reduce Firearm Violence." The symposium is free to attend, and registration is now open!

Featuring success stories at both the state and federal level, the symposium will explore how policymakers, academics, activists, and other stakeholders can help bridge the cultural and political divide to enact lasting and effective gun violence prevention policy. Together, we can change the contentious, overly simplistic way that gun policy is currently characterized in America.

The updated agenda and registration link can be found on our event website.

We look forward to seeing you on April 4!

We are thrilled to announce that our virtual 2025 Translational Science Day symposium is scheduled for Friday, April 4! The theme of this year’s symposium is "Beyond Thoughts and Prayers: Translating Gun Policy Science into Action to Reduce Firearm Violence." The symposium is free to attend, and registration is now open!

Gun policy is currently viewed as a highly polarized, highly contentious issue. It is characterized as a zero-sum, winner-take-all game, as opposed to one where everyone benefits. However, there is more common ground on gun policy than people are led to believe, as well as ways to build on existing consensus to reach actionable solutions to gun violence.

Featuring success stories at both the state and federal level, the symposium will explore how policymakers, academics, activists, and other stakeholders can help bridge the cultural and political divide to enact lasting and effective gun violence prevention policy.

Together, we can change the contentious, overly simplistic way that gun policy is currently characterized in America.

Seeking Funding for a Project?

The Small Grants to Advance Translational Science (S-GATS) Program is offering awards of up to $50,000 to support innovative and collaborative projects aimed at advancing the science of translation. The program is designed to address critical challenges in translational research across various diseases and health conditions, while also encouraging the exploration of novel opportunities and pathways. It welcomes projects that target specific translational challenges—such as improving predictions of drug toxicity or efficacy, enhancing data interoperability, or optimizing clinical trial recruitment—as well as those that seek to leverage untapped opportunities within the field.

The application process begins with the submission of a competitive Letter of Intent, due by Tuesday, October 8, 2024. If invited, a full proposal will be required by Thursday, December 19, 2024. To ensure that proposed research projects align with the 2025 request for applications, prospective applicants must consult with the S-GATS Program team prior to submitting their Letter of Intent.

An information session will be held tomorrow (Thursday, September 12) @ 4PM!

For consultation scheduling, registration for the information sessions, or any inquiries, please contact Nadia Prokofieva, MSSc, at sgats@tuftsmedicine.org. Additional information about this funding opportunity can be found on the Tufts CTSI S-GATS Program page.
