The CCTR seminar series brings together experts for lectures and interactive discussions on clinical and translational research concepts, methods and tools. These seminars occur quarterly and are geared toward engaging research faculty and staff at all levels.
Quarterly Member Meetings
Quarterly member meetings offer CCTR members a chance to meet together to discuss current clinical and translational research issues. During each meeting, CCTR leadership informs members about significant changes that have been made within the Center and/or Seattle Children’s Research Institute. New services and programs offered through the Center are also discussed. CCTR research groups are often invited to present about current and upcoming research within their departments.
CCTR Committees
CCTR members participate in various committees to promote the goals of the center. See a list (PDF) of current CCTR committee members and committee contact information.
Steering Committee
The CCTR Steering Committee, led by Center Director Dr. Bonnie Ramsey, provides guidance and overall strategic direction for the center. The committee meets monthly to establish priorities for center activities, determine funding allocation and lead new initiatives to improve clinical and translational research at Seattle Children’s.
