Call for Papers: Real-World Evidence and Real-World Data
Join Editor-in-Chief Dr. John Wagner and Associate Editor Dr. Paulien Ravenstijn as they discuss the FIRST EVER Call for Papers from Clinical and Translational Science (CTS). This special collection focusing on Real-World Evidence and Real-World Data, which will be a rolling collection, will initially publish in the second half of 2023, and the CTS editorial team will be considering submissions for the issue through early September of 2023. This Call was developed around the ASCPT 2023 Annual Meeting Pre-Conference “Advancing the Utilization of Real-World Data (RWD) and Real-World Evidence (RWE) in Clinical Pharmacology and Translational Research,” so if you have questions about the suitability of the topic for inclusion in the issue, please feel free to contact Paulien or pre-conference co-Chairs Dr. Karen Rowland Yeo and Dr. Jing Liu.

Pharmacogenetics and Underrepresented Populations
Dr. Erica Woodahl is back as moderator to discuss “Applying an equity lens to pharmacogenetic research and translation to underrepresented populations” with Clinical and Translational Science authors Drs. Tiana Luczak and Jacob Brown. They break down the challenges to conducting pharmacogenetic studies in underrepresented populations, what steps researchers can take to overcome these obstacles, and why equitable studies for underrepresented groups is vital to the future of clinical pharmacology and translational science.
