Contact PD/PI: Kern, Philip A PROJECT SUMMARY  The University of Kentucky (UK) Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) has created an  integrated home for clinical and translational research to promote scientific progress and discoveries at every  phase of the translational continuum. The CCTS has fundamentally transformed the research environment not  only at UK but throughout Central Appalachia through the development of a strong research network, the  Appalachian Translational Research Network (ATRN), with integrated research partnerships including other  CTSA hubs. When combined with an in-­depth understanding of the unique and serious health challenges  faced by Central Appalachian residents, the UK CCTS is positioned to lead local, regional and national  research efforts that focus on the significant health disparities in this population. Our overarching goal as a  CTSA hub is to continue to champion innovation in the full spectrum of clinical and translational research while  educating the workforce of the future, engaging our communities in biomedical science and working with the  national network to advance cohesive multi-­center clinical trials, which will ultimately elevate the health and  quality of life of the populace of Central Appalachia. Specifically, the UK CCTS will: 1) Lead institutional  innovation in the delivery of efficient, effective clinical and translational research. 2) Develop a diverse  workforce across multiple disciplines that advances translational research and excels in team-­based science.  3) Meet the unique needs of Central Appalachian residents by extensively engaging and collaborating with our  regional, rural and community-­based partners. 4) Catalyze innovative research, including novel drug  development and informatics methodologies, with particular focus on bringing innovation to special populations  and across the lifespan. 5) Create an efficient clinical trials network, centered at UK, and extending into our  partner health care systems that will be an essential and leading component of the CTSA consortium, involving  participants throughout a four state region of rural Central Appalachia. The UK CCTS benefits from a  collaborative environment found on only a few university campuses. UK has 16 colleges, with 11 involved in  the UK CCTS (including six biomedical colleges) on one central campus. This physical proximity of our  academic and health care communities, along with a culture of collaboration, creates a closely knit unified  academic community and positions the UK CCTS to demonstrate the impact of collaborative translational  research and leadership in team science. Our efforts have already been successful at transforming the culture  of the UK academic medical center to one that more keenly appreciates scholarship, innovation and  translational science. We now plan to build on these strengths to advance translational science to the next  level, with further development of our clinical trial networks, development of novel informatics programs, and  continued development of the workforce throughout the region. These efforts will benefit the medically  underserved residents of Central Appalachia and will significantly contribute to the national CTSA program.       1    Project Summary/Abstract Page 287 Contact PD/PI: Kern, Philip A
