Community & Collaboration Core

Effective translation of discoveries to the population demands a broad-based connection between our communities and our clinical and translational research (CTR) enterprise. The Community and Collaboration Core aims to further build CTR capacity among community partners and our researchers, as well as to develop and evaluate novel ways to conduct bidirectional research.
