CTSC RESOURCE UTILIZATION STUDIOS

Who’s helping you think through your next research hurdle?


Every research project encounters obstacles, whether it’s refining a hypothesis, strengthening a study design, improving recruitment strategies, or disseminating and implementing research outcomes. Resource Utilization Studios are designed to help investigators move through those challenges with the support of a multidisciplinary team of experts.

What are Resource Utilization Studios?


Resource Utilization Studios are dynamic, customized roundtable sessions that connect Principal Investigators with experienced investigators, administrators, and CTSC experts to collaboratively problem solve and strategically leverage CTSC-wide resources.


These facilitated virtual sessions create a focused environment where investigators can receive targeted feedback, explore new approaches, and identify practical next steps to strengthen their research.

Why Participate?



These collaborative sessions are designed to help move your research forward with clarity and momentum:


  • Gain targeted feedback from multidisciplinary experts
  • Strengthen study design, methodology, and grant strategies
  • Discover CTSC resources and collaborative opportunities
  • Receive actionable recommendations and next steps
  • Accelerate research progress through focused problem solving

During the Studio:


Over the course of a 1.5–2 hour virtual session:

  • The PI presents their research project and outlines a current challenge or area of need
  • A multidisciplinary group of experts engages in guided discussion and collaborative problem solving
  • Real-time feedback, recommendations, and resource opportunities are identified and organized


After the Studio:


Investigators receive a comprehensive post-studio report that includes:

  • Expert feedback and recommendations
  • Suggested next steps
  • Relevant CTSC resources and opportunities for support
  • Strategic considerations to help advance the project
