Priority Rankings (from highest rated to lowest rated). Results compiled from the Dec 14th meeting, emails, and e-polling
results.

#1 CER Workforce development project ideas
-Would appreciate sharing workforce expertise to address gaps in multi-disciplinary expertise at an individual site
(e.g., biostatistics, economic evaluation, observational study research design, CER; a lot of incorrect information about CER in
the community)
- What is the role of education to the community on CER?
-Workforce need is obvious. 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
