## Abstract

ABSTRACT - ADMINISTRATIVE CORE
The goal of the Rhode Island Center for Clinical and Translational Science (RI-CCTS) is to bridge the gaps
between the worlds of clinical and basic science by developing a multi-institutional, clinical translational
research infrastructure that beneficially impacts clinical practice and health care policy in Rhode Island. We will
leverage Rhode Island's impressive educational institutions, streamlined clinical environment, and successful
IDeA sponsored research mentoring programs and state of the art research infrastructure to enhance clinical
translational research by supporting the training, management, oversight, and coordination processes needed
to support and transform the clinical and translational research environment across the participating
institutions. The Administrative Core will be responsible for the leadership and management structure
necessary for effectively managing, coordinating and supervising the RI-CCTS. The academic home for this
IDeA-CTR will be Brown University. The leadership structure will build upon the Culture of Collaboration which
is best demonstrated by the numerous examples of inter-institutional high impact awards that have been
received and will support this IDeA-CTR. The leadership structure ensure appropriate stakeholder
representation by working across a statewide consortium of universities, hospitals, government agencies, non-
profits, industry partners, and the Departments of Health to impact the health of Rhode Islanders. Within Brown
University, RI-CCTS collaborations extend across the Division of Biology and Medicine, the Alpert Medical
School, the Program in Biology, the School of Public Health, the School of Engineering, and other University
Institutes and Centers. At the University of Rhode Island, the RI-CCTS impacts the Colleges of Pharmacy,
Nursing, and Environment & Life Sciences. Through strategic partnerships with the Rhode Island Quality
Institute and access to the newly created All Payor Claims Database, the RI-CCTS has the potential to
evaluate the health care of all of Rhode Islanders through truly population based epidemiological studies,
population phenotyping and clinical surveys. This IDeA-CTR proposal has the following Specific Aims: 1)
Provide the leadership, governance, organizational structure, and advisory support to develop, maintain and
enhance the RI-CCTS Key Component Activities in supporting clinical and translational research. 2) Enable the
development, coordination and implementation of new strategic initiatives and manage the business, financial,
communication and evaluation functions necessary to ensure efficient operations and to foster growth and the
long term sustainability of the RI-CCTS. 3) Serve as a source for developing written policies and procedures
necessary for effective organization, governance, and sustainability of the RI-CCTS and to retain clinical
research investigators.
