What they work on
- Develop well-trained, supported early-stage clinician-investigators at the University of Louisville who can secure grant funding for clinical and translational research.
- Build interdisciplinary teams and networks of investigators to promote collaboration in clinical and translational research.
- Build research skills and competencies in clinical professional students to grow the pipeline of future clinician-scientists.
- Train clinical research coordinators and research nurses in best practices, policies and mentoring, including 24/7 coverage for acute-care studies and support for community-engaged research.
More about the research
This grant funds a training and mentoring program within the Louisville Clinical and Translational Research Center at the University of Louisville. It addresses a shortage of investigators who have the skills needed to carry new ideas through to patient care.
Why it matters
A stronger workforce of clinician-scientists, research coordinators and research nurses in Kentucky could expand the number of clinical studies that can be run locally. It could also help research findings move into practice faster, with the aim of improving healthcare outcomes for communities in Kentucky and beyond.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
