Highlights:
The University of Iowa’s Institute for Clinical and Translational Science includes 39 established University centers and institutes representing all 11 UI colleges. Examples include the UI Hospitals and Clinics’ General Clinical Research Center; the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center at the UI; the Law, Health Policy, and Disability Center; the Prairielands Addiction Technology Transfer Center; the Northern Plains Native American Health Disparities Center; and the Upper Midwest Public Health Training Center. Partnerships with the University of Arizona and Iowa State University add richness and diversity to the Institute’s efforts. The Institute will energize strong UI research programs in areas like optical science, oral and maxillofacial implants, nanotechnology, and advanced imaging, and nurture newer initiatives like community-based research. The Institute’s statewide network of community practitioners, hospitals, and health organizations will help identify areas for further study, improve public perception of clinical research, and make cutting-edge research, discoveries and treatments available to patients wherever they live. Looking even further ahead, the Institute’s masters and Ph.D. degree programs in clinical and translational science will prepare tomorrow’s researchers. CTSA support will advance research at the UI in innumerable ways.
