We would like to thank Cynthia Hahn, Petra Kaufmann, and the rest of the Central IRB Advancement Team for their dedicated efforts to encourage implementation of CTTI’s recommendations. It is through these dissemination activities that methods to increase the quality and efficiency of the clinical trials enterprise are shared, and changes in practice are effected.
