Grant Description

The Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) Translational Research Network (RTRN) was established in 2007 to enhance collaboration across RCMI institutions. It includes multiple academic institutions, clinical sites, community health care providers, and community groups that have a goal of developing and conducting clinical and translational research on those diseases that disproportionately impact minority populations, and on health disparities in general. The network is designed to engage all stakeholders in the translational research process, increase the quality and efficiency of clinical and translational studies, facilitate study participant recruitment and retention, and increase the efficiency of the implementation and dissemination of research advances to improved health outcomes.
