Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Researchers and institutions in Montana seeking to conduct clinical and translational studies with robust design and compliant data management.
✕Less likely to help
This grant does not directly enroll patients; benefits are via improved research infrastructure and future studies.
What this research studies
The RDCD Core provides expert guidance on study design, data management, and compliance to support Montana CTRC investigators. It leverages large health datasets, including electronic health records, while ensuring adherence to NIH and institutional policies. By filling gaps in Montana’s infrastructure, the Core aims to make translational research more rigorous, efficient, and capable of addressing state health priorities. The effort focuses on all phases of protocol development and study implementation to enable impactful C&T research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could benefit from higher-quality research that informs better clinical practices and health policies in Montana.
How similar studies have gone: Previous centers have shown that dedicated design/compliance cores improve study quality and regulatory adherence in translational research.
