The Rhode Island Advance-CTR program is a statewide hub of research resources and services for clinical and translational investigators in Rhode Island.
We support Rhode Island investigators through funding, research resources and services, and professional development offerings. Ultimately, we hope that these efforts fuel discoveries and collaborations that are responsive to the health priorities of our state’s diverse communities.
Specific Aims
- To support the enhancement of infrastructure and human resources required to address clinical and translational research needs in Rhode Island.
