RCMI Translational Research Network (RTRN)
The RCMI Translational Research Network (RTRN) is a consortium comprising of 1) basic, clinical and translational investigators from the RCMI institutions, and 2) investigators from non-RCMI academic health centers, community organizations, and other relevant organizations which are linked via a robust information technology infrastructure. RTRN enables these institutions to pool their resources and expertise to conduct high-quality, collaborative, multi-center clinical and translational research resulting in an increase in the productivity and impact of each of the individual centers, with the ultimate goal of fostering improved health outcomes and eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in health.
