Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Residents of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont with chronic diseases who may participate in future regional clinical trials or benefit from improved healthcare delivery.
✕Less likely to help
If you live outside the Northern New England region or are seeking care outside chronic disease management, direct trial participation may be limited.
What this research studies
This grant funds an Administrative Core to build and sustain a regional clinical and translational research infrastructure in northern New England. It focuses on coordinating healthcare providers, researchers, trainees, navigators, and community members to advance health outcomes in rural communities. The effort aims to expand access to clinical trials in rural areas, foster collaborations with national CTR/CTSI initiatives, and strengthen local clinician-researcher leadership through the Northern New England PBRN. The work is about enabling researchers to conduct more and better human studies that can ultimately improve chronic disease care in the region. By supporting infrastructure, governance, and collaboration, the program seeks to translate findings into practical improvements in patient care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Patients in rural northern New England could see faster access to clinical trials and improvements in chronic disease care through stronger research infrastructure.
How similar studies have gone: Prior regional CTRs and CTSIs have shown that strengthened infrastructure can increase trial reach and improve translation of research into care.
