#1 CER Workforce development project ideas

Methods currently need improving to be better embedded in customary care and extant opportunities. -It is essential to find ways of getting junior investigators trained, funded and invested in CER.

#2 CTSA Network for CER project idea

-The network needs clinical and methodological expertise with an infrastructure of clinical data Need to determine workforce areas
