SC CTSI Horizons logo


The Horizons Program is designed to advance clinical and translational research (CTR) by piloting innovative approaches to bring together junior, mid-career, and senior CHLA-based faculty.

Leveraging SC CTSI resources, Horizons focuses on three key CTR areas:

  • Healthcare Delivery Science
    The program facilitates research that improves how healthcare is delivered, ensuring efficiency, quality, and patient-centered outcomes.
  • Qualitative Research
    USC and CHLA investigators can collaborate on qualitative projects. Smaller groups working on health equity initiatives may benefit from sustained collaboration with the Community Engagement team. In addition, qualitative researchers will have access to a longitudinal working group forum for ongoing collaboration and shared learning.
  • Clinical Trials
    Horizons aims to optimize scientific collaborations by connecting USC faculty with pediatric collaborators and leveraging SC-CTSI expertise and resources to strengthen trial design and implementation.
