How can health sciences librarians and biomedical informaticians offer relevant support to Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) personnel?
The Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library and the associate vice president for information technology for the health sciences office at the University of Utah conducted a needs assessment.
Faculty and staff from these two units, with the services of a consultant and other CTSA partners, employed a survey, focus groups, interviews, and committee discussions. An information portal was created to meet identified needs.
A directive white paper was created. The process employed to plan a virtual and physical collaborative, collegial space for clinical researchers at the university and its three inter-institutional CTSA partners is described.
The university's model can assist other librarians and informaticians with how to become part of a CTSA-focused infrastructure for clinical and translational research and serve researchers in general.

犹他大学 Spencer S. Eccles 健康科学图书馆和健康科学信息技术副总裁办公室的工作人员进行了一项需求评估。
这两个单位的教职员工与顾问和其他 CTSA 合作伙伴一起,采用了调查、焦点小组、访谈和委员会讨论的方式。创建了一个信息门户来满足已确定的需求。
创建了一份指导白皮书。描述了为大学及其三个机构间 CTSA 合作伙伴的临床研究人员规划虚拟和实体协作、友好空间的过程。
