In 1854, case mapping linked a cholera epidemic to a water pump source. Modern IT is applied to understanding disease clustering, role of toxins, with emerging application to stress and health care access. The District of Columbia has diverse ethnic groups and marked disparities of healthy living space, care facilities, and geographic variation of disease. We plan to leverage advanced IT and

The Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS; UAB Hub) is located in a region of the country heavily burdened by chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, cancer, stroke and hypertension. The vision of the CCTS is to ameliorate disparities in these and other conditions that disproportionately affect our region, especially in underserved minority and special populations represented both

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Case Western Reserve University convened a COVID-19 Taskforce to bring together clinical, basic science and population health researchers to engender an integrated and multidisciplinary approach to understand and combat SARS CoV-2 from multiple perspectives. As a way to support investigators across the university and hospital system partners, the Taskforce

A hallmark of severe COVID-19 pneumonia is SARS-CoV-2 infection of the facultative progenitors of lung alveoli, the alveolar epithelial type 2 cells (AT2s). However, inability to access these cells from patients, particularly at early stages of disease, limits an understanding of disease inception. Here, we present an in vitro human model that simulates the initial apical infection of alveolar

Implementation Science (IS) is the study of methods to promote systematic uptake of research findings and other evidence-based practices (EBPs) into routine clinical care, thus improving health care quality and effectiveness. The Translational Research Institute (TRI) will expand IS capacity and research productivity to address NCATS’ mission to rapidly advance interventions and integrate research

Background: The successes of clinical research are indisputable: life expectancy is longer, mortality due to acute illnesses is lower, and the burden of symptoms of chronic illness are possibly more tolerable. Yet, there are more challenges, some expected and some not, that need to be faced, which potentially jeopardizes any achieved successes. Objectives: As part of Research Capacity Core Hub of

The iTHRIV Scholars Program is a two-year, cohort-based, mentored, career development award open to eligible junior faculty candidates at the University of Virginia (UVA) and Virginia Tech Carilion (VTC). Awardees participate in weekly curriculum sessions focused around developing their careers in clinical and translational research, including sessions focused on data science, team science, peer

The COVID-19 pandemic, while a significant disruptive event for research, resulted in a novel focus area for clinical and translational (C/T) researchers. Miami CTSI rapidly responded to this critical need by leading a collaborative effort to facilitate COVID-19 research and education initiatives for researchers and community stakeholders, while implementing innovative solutions to continue other

The vibrant partnership between the UC Davis School of Medicine (SOM) and School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) goes back to the inception of the medical school in 1972. The SVM is a premier veterinary school ranked 1st in federal funding. The UC Davis SOM is one of the fastest rising U.S. medical schools with regard to research and has advanced from 57th to 29th in NIH ranking since the inception

COVID-19 hit the Bronx, NY in March 2020 as our institution and the Northeast fell victim to the virus. The many teams that make up the programs of the Einstein-Montefiore Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) responded quickly, not due to special foresight to anticipate such an acute worldwide crisis, but because our foundational philosophy is to use the ICTR as an integrated
