Survey: Help improve the use of real-world data in research

Dear UNC Research Community,

We invite you to participate in a survey initiative to strengthen our community's ability to effectively use real-world data (RWD) for impactful research.

The survey's purpose is to identify the training needs of the Clinical and Translational Science Award community and develop an RWD Training Maturity Model to guide organizations in advancing their maturity pathway. Your input will help shape strategies to empower the workforce and improve the use of RWD in research.

NC TraCS is the CTSA hub at UNC-Chapel Hill. Multiple submissions for various roles per CTSA hub are encouraged. Your responses will remain confidential; this survey takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Survey response deadline: June 15, 2026.
