UNM HSC CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE CENTER: OVERALL
SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
Our vision for the University of New Mexico (UNM) Health Sciences Center (HSC) Clinical and Translational
Science Center (CTSC) is to catalyze scientific discovery into improved health by enabling high quality clinical
and translational research (CTR) – locally, regionally, and nationally. It is not an exaggeration that in our first
two funding cycles (CTSC 1.0 funded in 2010 and CTSC 2.0 funded in 2015), UNM CTSC created a research
ecosystem that transformed UNM HSC by providing needed services and training, demonstrating and
disseminating methods and processes to support CTR, and building new partnerships, all of which
substantially grew our research enterprise and its impact. We accomplished this by building on local strengths
and addressing geographic and demographic needs. Being an agent of continuous improvement, we will
further enhance our activities in CTSC 3.0. During CTSC 1.0 and 2.0, we catalyzed CTR through new training
and services. These activities and findings were disseminated to CTR partners in all 34 counties statewide,
including health organizations, community providers, social service agencies, K-12 schools, industry, and
others. This established UNM CTSC as the academic focal point for CTR at UNM HSC, in NM, and in our
regional consortium, which includes 7 states and 13 public universities. With this landscape, we are positioned
to achieve the mission laid out by NCATS for CTSA hubs to “support high quality collaborative translational
science locally, regionally, and nationally; foster scientific and operational innovation to improve the efficiency
and effectiveness of clinical translational research; and create, provide, and disseminate domain-specific
translational science training and workforce development.” We will accomplish this through 5 aims: 1) build a
diverse, sustainable biomedical research workforce, and ensure that investigators and their teams have skills
and knowledge necessary to advance the translation of discoveries through innovations and execution of our
career development, workforce training and related programs; 2) engage in beneficial collaboration and
partnerships locally, regionally, and nationally; and includes stakeholder engagement at all stages of CTR; 3)
discover, develop, demonstrate, and disseminate innovative research resources, methods, and processes to
catalyze CTR from discovery to implementation in communities; 4) further integrate multiple phases and
disciplines across the translational research spectrum and include special populations across the lifespan to
ensure that translational advances are realized in all populations; and 5) expand our informatics capabilities
with innovative solutions to deliver tools, training, collaboration, dissemination of best practices, and EHR data
to accelerate the science and operations of CTR. By accomplishing these aims, CTSC 3.0 will: 1) continu...
