NCATS and CTSA Program Updates Michael Kurilla
FY 2019 Budget Ø Minibus: Department of Defense and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act, 2019 and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 (P .L. 115-245) • NIH: $39.084 billion ($2 billion increase, or 5.4%, above FY 2018) • NCATS: FY 2017 ($M) FY 2018 ($M) FY 2019 ($M) NCATS 705.9 742.4 806.4 CTSA 516.1 542.8 559.8 CAN 25.8 25.8 “up to 80.0”
FY 2019 Budget Ø Appropriation report language: • Senate: Clinical and Translational Science Awards [CTSA] Program. —The Committee encourages the NCATS to fund, through the existing CTSA Program hubs, expanded efforts to improve translational research that address health disparities and the significant burden of conditions that disproportionately affect minority and special populations. Accelerating translational research by making it more efficient and effective will reduce the burden of disease and promote health equity. Applying the CTSA model to address longstanding regional health disparities can provide innovative, multidisciplinary approaches to reducing the burden of disease among vulnerable populations. The Committee supports the goals of the NCATS program and believes the principles that serve as the foundation of NCATS; public-private partnerships, community outreach, faster access to clinical trials, have tremendous potential for addressing the long-standing diseases associated with health disparities. The Committee encourages NCATS to fund institutions with a history of serving health disparity populations. • House: Rural Health Outcomes and Health Disparities. —The Committee notes translational science and education is critical to developing new treatments and healthcare approaches that can be disseminated to underserved and special populations to improve health outcomes across the life span. The Committee continues and encourages NCATS, through its CTSA program, to enhance its commitment to the value of translational science and funding for universities to continue to innovate by leveraging statewide resources and capabilities to improve rural health outcomes and eliminate health disparities. The Committee requests an update on the actions within the CTSA program to improve rural health outcomes and health disparities in the fiscal year 2020 Congressional Justification.

Seeking New Steering Committee Members NCATS is seeking nominations for new CTSA Program Steering Committee (SC) members! We have 5 total slots available – 4 UL1 PIs and 1 Administrator SC member. If you would like to self-nominate or suggest a fellow PI, please submit the PI name, institution, and brief explanation (no longer than 1 paragraph) to Samantha Jonson (Samantha.Jonson@nih.gov) by Friday, November 30 th . The eligibility criteria for SC appointments for PIs (UL1, KL2 and TL1) and an Administrator are as follows: • A PI must be officially named in the Notice of Grant Award of an active CTSA Program hub • An Administrator is the key point of contact between their institution’s CTSA Program leadership and Program Directors, and NCATS personnel • An “active” award is defined as a hub award that is not in a No-Cost Extension (NCE). A PI or Administrator whose hub award in an NCE is not considered eligible as there is insufficient time remaining in the award project period for initiation of an appointment. • For both PIs and Administrator, their hub award must have at least 3 years remaining during the project period • An eligible PI has not served on the SC since December 2014 To learn more about the roles and responsibilities, please visit this web page.
NOT-NS-19-022: Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement for HEAL Pain Effectiveness Research Network: Clinical Trial Planning and Implementation Cooperative Agreement (UG3/UH3 Clinical Trial Required) • This Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement was released yesterday (HEAL Pain Effectiveness Research Network: Clinical Trial Planning and Implementation Cooperative Agreement (UG3/UH3). It is about the program under consideration that will conduct effectiveness clinical trials to establish best practices to prevent or manage acute or chronic pain in ways that reduce the risk for addiction. • The notice is a fairly comprehensive summary of the future RFA under consideration. Please take time to read it. • The TIN will act as the Clinical Coordinating Center, the Data Coordinating Center and provide biostatistical support as needed. The TIN will work with the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) hubs ( https://ctsa.ncats.nih.gov/ ) and other sites identified by awardees to implement studies. • We are asking that each CTSA hub have a HEAL TIN liaison point of contact for these studies. 9
NIH HEAL Initiative: Program Update and Funding Opportunities for Pain Research Available through NIH • This presentation was given by Dr. Walter J. Koroshetz, MD, Director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), at an AAMC webinair. He discussed all of the new pain research programs and those under consideration that are part of the trans-NIH HEAL Initiative. This includes the Pain Effectiveness Research Network (Pain-ERN). • Links to the slides and recording are at https://www.aamc.org/initiatives/rocc/ • The Pain ERN is mentioned on slide 9, and this slide demonstrates how the network fits in with the other planned HEAL programs. Slide 27 gives a more complete description of the Pain ERN program. • Also notice the other clinical HEAL studies that could involve your CTSA. • See more about planned and available funding opportunities at https://www.nih.gov/research-training/medical-research-initiatives/heal- initiative/funding-announcements-opportunities. 10

Common Metrics Initiative: Longitudinal CM Report PI Webinar November 28, 2018 The University of Rochester Center for Leading Innovation and Collaboration (CLIC) is the coordinating center for the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program, funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Grant U24TR002260.
Goal To provide both a quantitative and qualitative longitudinal perspective of the Common Metrics data for 2015, 2016, and 2017. Objectives 1. To show hub quantitative trend values relative to consortium data. 2. To illustrate changes in hub data relative to consortium since 2016 going into 2017. 3. To identify qualitative factors involved in turning the curve since 2016. 4. Generate questions and hypotheses, allow exploration - “What if...”
Quantitative Methodology Obtain 2017 CM Data Extract on 10/1/2018 Clean the data Calculate Median, IQR for all Numerical Data 2015 -2017 2015 - 2017 longitudinal plots for each hub Identify "exemplars”; Change in metric value from 2016 - 2017 The University of Rochester Center for Leading Innovation and Collaboration (CLIC) is the coordinating center for the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program, funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Grant U24TR002260.
