Research at RTRN
RTRN investigators are engaged in research collaborations with scientists across the RCMI institutions, from other academic health centers, and with health care providers and community groups to address the most pressing health concerns affecting minority and underserved communities.
Through the network’s translational research cluster system utilizing cyber workspaces, our researchers generate ideas and implement multi-site research projects that are support by state-of-the-art clinical and collaboratory technologies and tools.
Translational Research Cluster System
Central to the Network's ability to transition from laboratory research to clinical research and from clinical research to the community and public health practice is the implementation of the translational research cluster (TRC) system. The clusters, embedded within cyber workspaces, link clinical, biomedical and behavioral researchers with providers and community leaders into novel geographic and ethnically diverse research partnerships aimed at improving patient health outcomes. The "brain-trust" of the Network, the TRC system generates new ideas for research collaborations and educational activities.
