Consortium of Rural States (CORES) Multi-Institutional Pilot Program
The Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) of University of Utah (UU), University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (UNM HSC), University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC), University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), University of Kentucky (KU), and the University of Iowa (UI) solicit applications from all faculty members—senior as well as junior investigators—for pilot projects that will exemplify the CTSA mission of developing clinical and translational research, to promote and support the “bench to bedside to community and practice and back” goal of the NIH. The purpose of this funding announcement is to promote inter‐institutional collaboration across the CTSA consortium by funding innovative, translational research projects that involve three or more of these six CTSA institutions.
