University of Puerto Rico-Medical Sciences, PR·Public Health & Epidemiology
Researchers in Puerto Rico take part in clinical and translational research (studies that move discoveries toward patient care) less often than they could. Closing this gap requires stronger research skills, wider mentorship networks, and more experience running clinical trials.

What they work on
- Strengthen research infrastructure and build the skills of researchers and staff through an educational program on health and healthcare research.
- Provide training and mentoring to develop a pipeline of clinical and translational investigators in Puerto Rico, including clinical trial expertise.
- Offer targeted research training to healthcare providers and community members so they can conduct studies focused on community health needs.
More about the research
These are needed for scientists to tackle the island's major health problems.
Why it matters
A better-trained clinical and translational research workforce in Puerto Rico could study and address health problems affecting the island's population more effectively. Training healthcare providers and community members to do research could focus studies on local community health needs and improve public health outcomes.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
