About RTRN

RTRN Subcommittees

RTRN has task-specific subcommittees: Community Engagement, Core Resources, Education and Dissemination, Ethics and Regulatory, Interdisciplinary Research, Protocol Review, Publications and Presentations, and Translational Informatics (link subcommittees to their individual page information). The RTRN subcommittees, under the direction of the RTRN Steering Committee, leverage the intellectual resources available across the network to provide insight and direction in various areas including protocol review, education and training and the development and dissemination of study findings and results. Their efforts help to move researchers from an idea to funded project with notable outcomes and results that can impact change for the better in the communities in which the researchers work.

Currently, there are six subcommittees in the network.
