  1. Mountain West Research ConsortiumClinical Translational Research – Infrastructure NetworkThe Mountain West CTR-IN Robert D. Langer, MD, MPH Principal Investigator Research Professor of Allied Health Sciences, UNLV Associate Dean for Clinical and Translational Research and Professor of Family Medicine-Las Vegas, UNSOM NIGMS Award: 1U54GM104944-01A1

  2. What is it? • $20 million 5 year NIH Grant under the IDeA Program • Involving 13 universities across the 7 IDeA states in the Mountain West Research Consortium

  3. What are the 7 Mountain West states? Alaska Hawaii Idaho Montana Nevada New Mexico Wyoming

  4. Support: to foster Clinical and Translational Research (CTR) according to NIH Definitions for Core Resources to facilitate the development of researchers moving into CTR BOOTSTRAP CTR ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN WEST

  5. We will sink or swim based on the increase in “R-level” translational and clinical research that we achieve across the region over the next 4 years “a rising tide that … … lifts all ships.”

  6. Who is in it? • UNLV [host] • UNR/UNSOM • U. Alaska – Anchorage • U. Alaska – Fairbanks • U. Hawaii – Manoa • Boise State U. • Idaho State U. • U. Idaho • Montana State U. • U. Montana • New Mexico State U. • U. New Mexico • U. Wyoming

  7. What will it do? • Provide pilot grants of $40,000-$75,000/yr • Support Mini-Sabbatical and Visiting Scholar awards to build collaborations • Provide infrastructure and services through Key Component Activities

  8. Funding preference • Promising Early Career or New Investigators developing clinical or translational research programs • Established Investigators moving from bench to translational or clinical • Projects focused on health issues relevant to the region, including those in rural and vulnerable populations

  9. What will it do? • Use an NIH-style approach to applications and funding • Model the processes that clinical and translational investigators need to master to compete successfully for NIH support

  10. Key Component Activities (KCAs) • Education, Mentoring & Career Development KCA • Study Design & Biostatistics KCA • Pilot Grant KCA • Administrative KCA, including editorial support, award management, Annual Meeting

  11. Education Mentoring Study Design Biostat Annual Meeting ALL AVAILABLE regardless of whether you’ve received a competitive award from the CTR-IN

  12. What will it do? • Hold an Annual Meeting to share science, motivate, build collaborations, & conduct study business that will: • rotate across the 13 partner institutions • feature an annual research theme relevant to health in the region • bring together supported investigators, interested researchers from the region, key administrators from partners, external scientists, the regional biostat team, and senior project staff First Annual Meeting at UNLV June 23 – 25, 2014 free registration, hotel rate ~ $100/night

  13. What’s the current status? • Round 1 Pilot Grants: • 24 applications, 6 awarded • Round 1A Pilot Grants: • 63 applications, 14 awarded
