The Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) at The Ohio State University is a hidden gem for researchers. Within the CCTS, the Recruitment and Retention program offers help to researchers with those first “touch points” with the community, and share best practices to help reach recruitment goals.
Requesting a consultation with Recruitment and Retention Services early in the design of a research study can help to reduce the burden of study participant recruitment, which can often be more challenging than expected.

We have multiple clinical trials for several conditions, such as urinary disease, cancer, heart disease, and more.

Get to know the staff at the CCTS with our monthly Staff Session highlight! This month, meet Stuart Hobbs!
Q: What is your current role at the CCTS?
A: I manage education and training programs for faculty, postdocs, and graduate students. That entails running three grant programs—from competitions to administration. I also organize monthly trainee lunch and learns, and develop several Tools of the Trade programs throughout the year, and other training events
Q: How do you think the CCTS is impacting medicine?
A: At the end of his TL1 Mentored Career Development grant, one of our trainees said he had learned the distinction between interesting engineering questions around imaging and questions and challenges that were important to clinicians who used the equipment. That is just one example of how trainees in CCTS education programs learn new perspectives and skills that enable them to conduct research that has an impact on human health.
Q: What is one thing you want everyone to know about the CCTS?
A: That we are your one-stop place for clinical and translational research. Whatever your specific interests, the CCTS can provide or connect you with tools and resources to help you conduct your research more effectively.
