## Abstract

MCDTR Center Overview Abstract
 The Michigan Center for Diabetes Translational Research (MCDTR) supports MCDTR members and
regional, national, and international collaborators to conduct research to translate diabetes interventions with
proven efficacy from the bedside into clinical and community practice (type 2 translational research). The
specific aims of the MCDTR are to:
• Raise awareness of, and interest in, type 2 translational research in diabetes and create an
 environment that supports such research
• Identify, develop, and support researchers engaged in research to translate interventions with proven
 efficacy into real world health care settings, communities, and populations at risk
• Administer cores that provide services critical to type 2 translational research in diabetes for new and
 established investigators
• Foster interdisciplinary collaborations to advance type 2 translational research in diabetes
• Provide education and training opportunities in diabetes translational research
• Administer a Pilot and Feasibility Study Grants Program to attract new investigators to the field and to
 enable them to generate preliminary data for successful grant applications
The Center supports four cores. The Administration Core maintains the MCDTR Research Base and is
responsible for the direction, functioning, and finances of the Center. It administers the Pilot and Feasibility
Study Grants Program and the Enrichment Program and maintains the MCDTR website. The Methods and
Measurement Core focuses on design and analysis issues in translational research (including health
economics). The Intervention and Technology Research Core focuses on technology-based approaches to
intervention delivery, health communication, and peer support. The Community Outreach and Engagement
Core focuses on community engagement, intervention implementation and dissemination with special focus on
patient empowerment, cultural competence, health disparities, implementation science research, and
community-based participatory research.
