The Informatics Special Interest Group (SIG) was established in 2022 as a forum for the cross-institutional exchange of information on current approaches to the integration of informatics into clinical and translational science research programs. It also promotes best practices of integrating modern informatics methods in translational science journals and forums, specifically the Journal of Clinical and Translational Science (JCTS) journals thereby increasing the scalability and rigor of translational science, its trainees and investigators.

The Informatics SIG will also serve as a resource promoting team science by connecting the informatics community to the broader spectrum of clinical and translational stakeholders (e.g. trainees, CTSA/CTR principal investigators, clinical research coordinators, and the community) and reciprocally promoting clinical and translational domains and community priorities to informatics and data science colleagues through activities such as the development and maintenance of professional networks and online materials.

SIG membership is open to all ACTS members. If you would like to join the Informatics SIG, please contact Russ Waitman.
