The SS TTA team developed and delivered a multitude of TTA resources throughout the life of the grant. While some of those resources were considered complete (e.g., a Fellows Academy), others were under development or refinement (e.g., modules, case studies, etc.) and will be either finalized or enhanced with the continuation of the SS TTA 2021 grant, led by JRSA.

MSU repurposed travel funds that would have been applied to the in-person Academy to support development of up to 10 case studies. BJA fully supported this modification. Fellows Academy graduates were encouraged to apply for creation of a competitive mini-grant in support of building and informing a community of practice. This is a two-step process. The first step was to submit a one-page summary of the (BJA) grant funded program specifically highlighting changes, successes, or challenges overcome leading to progress. The second step required submission of a case study that will be used as an online resource and with the potential for publications through the Innovations Suite and/or BJA. Five case studies are under development. A second round of case studies will be sought after the first of the year.
