IDEAL-CTS is a pioneering initiative focused on promoting Innovation, Diversity, Health Equity, Accountability and Leadership in Clinical and Translational Sciences (CTS). Our service aims to foster collaboration between community and academic partners, with the core goal of expediting innovative strategies for advancing health equity in medical research and leadership.
The Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR) has launched the 2023 Fall round of the Statewide Building Capacity for Research and Action (SBCRA) Grant to strengthen the capacity of the community to engage in, and benefit from translational research. Community-engaged research partnerships and projects must address community-identified health priorities within the state of Michigan.
MICHR has launched the Promoting Academics and Community Engagement (PACE) Dissemination Grant to support community-academic partnerships in sharing Community-Engaged Research (CEnR) results back to the community.
The Clinical and Translational Science Pilot Award aims to support new and innovative research projects relevant to clinical & translational science (CTS). CTS is a field of investigation focused on understanding a scientific or operational principle that underlies a step of the translational process, with the goal of developing generalizable principles to accelerate translational research.
Beginning with a human-centered design consultation, we partner with research teams across the University of Michigan to help them transform research ideas into full interventions. Our unique approach actively focuses on engaging the product or service's target audience throughout the entire design process.
MICHR’s Community Engagement program aims to meet the research-related needs of our community and academic partners around the state by offering consultation services.
The Community Engagement (CE) Studio provides an opportunity for researchers to enhance their research project during an interactive session with patients, caregivers, health care providers, community members, and other non-researcher stakeholders.
MICHR offers tailored educational presentations on topics related to community engagement. We can adapt the presentation content to fit the needs of specific audiences.
MICHR offers assistance in connecting potential research partners who have complementary interests and areas of expertise.
Grant proposals may be strengthened by a letter of support detailing MICHR services you will use to meet the research goals outlined in your proposal.
