Clinical research only helps everyone if everyone can take part in it. Many people, especially those in low-income and rural communities, are rarely recruited into clinical studies, and slow regulatory approval and incompatible data systems can also hold research back.
- Fields
Medicine & Clinical Research
Public Health & Epidemiology
- Topics
clinical and translational science
translational research
community-engaged research
- Grants
- 1 known grant, through Apr 2030
What they work on
- Strengthen translational research workforce training across the partner institutions so that researchers can recruit a broad range of patient populations into clinical studies.
- Use health outcomes data to develop tools and methods that show how to improve overall health outcomes across communities in Virginia and North Carolina.
- Improve protocol review and oversight to raise the quality of clinical research and shorten the timeline for regulatory approval.
- Use shared informatics data and tools to make clinical data interoperable, meaning usable together, across partner and collaborator institutions.
- Expand community engagement and telehealth infrastructure to recruit hard-to-reach low-income and rural patients into clinical research.
More about the research
This grant funds a regional center that works on these roadblocks so that discoveries move faster from the lab to patient care.
Why it matters
The center could help patients in low-income and rural parts of Virginia and North Carolina join clinical studies they are often left out of. Its goal is research results that apply to everyone. Faster protocol review and data sharing across institutions could shorten the time it takes to test new treatments. Methods that succeed here are meant to be adopted by other translational research centers nationwide.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
