The CCTR and the GPHRC have a shared vision to be the national leader
for innovative biotechnologies and strategies that can effectively identify and
reduce the complex causes of rural health disparities. The CCTR and the GPHRC
have a shared mission to promote vibrant partnerships between public and private
organizations, and the communities they serve, and provide centralized and
strategic resources to multidisciplinary teams that can address health
disparities of rural and diverse communities through translational research.
Overall Goals
- Create a new health research consortium focused on improving regional health
disparities.
- Develop a “home” for GPHRC Clinical and Translational (C/T) research
resources.
- Develop novel biotechnologies better able to assess or treat diseases that
contribute to regional health disparities.
- Train the next generation of investigators and interdisciplinary research
teams in the methods and tools of C/T research.
