Arkansas is a small state with heavy disease burdens, and many residents live far from health care. Translational research is the work of moving discoveries from laboratories, clinics and communities into real treatments, care models and prevention strategies.

What they work on
- Develop, demonstrate and share translational science innovations that make it easier to move research through several stages of the clinical and translational research spectrum.
- Launch and expand research programs across partner institutions and Arkansas communities that create solutions tailored to the health needs of people in the state.
- Speed up research workflows that support population health and chronic disease management studies, including work done with primary care clinics around Arkansas.
- Create new ways to train a skilled, cross-disciplinary translational science workforce able to carry discoveries from labs and clinics into communities.
More about the research
Translational science studies how to make that process work better. This program, the Translational Research Institute (TRI) at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, supports both. It builds on earlier work that formed multidisciplinary teams and new research collaborations with primary care clinics across the state.
Why it matters
People in Arkansas, especially those with limited access to care because of where they live, carry a heavy disease burden. Tested strategies for moving discoveries into practice could yield new treatment approaches, care delivery models and disease prevention strategies suited to the state's needs. Faster research workflows could also support better management of chronic disease across Arkansas communities.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
