The UCLA CTSI is building research infrastructure that enables timely response to scientific questions faced by regional public agencies. School closures due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic harmed children’s educational progress and mental and physical health. Equitable resumption of in-person learning, as well as stable attendance during the pandemic, and the endemic period of
In 2017, Jeffrey Bazarian, M.D., M.P.H., a concussion researcher at the University of Rochester Medical Center, wanted to pull together a national network of concussion clinics to run multi-site clinical trials. He turned to the University of Rochester Clinical and Translational Science Institute (UR CTSI) and Trial Innovation Network (TIN) for help and ended up connecting with a group already

Dr. Steven Hicks, MD, PhD is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Penn State University. His translational research identifies molecular biomarkers that inform child growth, neurodevelopment and disease. ABSTRACT: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is extremely common among adolescents, who suffer disproportionately from prolonged concussion symptoms - a condition for which no biologic test
Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are rare but devastating genetic conditions. In 2003, the Urea Cycle Disorders Consortium (UCDC) became one of the first members of the RDCRN. Since then, UCDC has flourished into an international network of 16 academic centers in the United States, Canada and Europe that provide state-of-the-art care and conduct cutting-edge clinical research. The UCDC is currently
The Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) was established in 2009 to study and define optimal treatments for rare genetic disorders of the immune system, collectively known as primary immunodeficiency diseases. The PIDTC includes 44 immunology and transplantation centers throughout the United States and Canada as well as six patient advocacy groups. In its first nine years, the
Dystonia syndromes are disorders that cause certain regions of the body to have uncontrollable movements, including twisting, spasms, repetitive shaking, or jerking. The most common dystonia disorders affect the head and neck, eyelids, vocal cords, hands, forearms, and sometimes the entire body. The overall goal of the Dystonia Coalition is to accelerate progress in dystonia research. Specific
Recognizing the diversity of populations within California and the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 on minority and low income communities, we have formed a statewide community-partnered collaborative funded by the NIH/NHLBI to address disparities in COVID-19 knowledge, awareness, and communication; vaccine trial participation; and vaccine hesitancy and accessibility. The statewide
The Strategies to Innovate EmeRgENcy Care Clinical Trials Network (SIREN) is a clinical trials network funded by the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Center for Advancing Translational Science (NCATS). The goal of the SIREN Network is to improve the outcomes of patients with neurologic, cardiac
UC BRAID, or University of California Biomedical Research Acceleration, Integration, and Development, is a network of five UC campuses - Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. Formed in 2010, the UC BRAID consortium aims to accelerate research and improve health through collaboration, sharing resources, and infrastructure development. We connect researchers and administrators to
The Greater Los Angeles CTSA Consortium was established to leverage our local talents in collaborations that benefit both our local communities and our approaches to clinical research. The two main activities that are currently underway are (a) a Community Engagement working group that is developing and evaluating an intervention with promotoras to increase Latino representation in clinical trials

UCLA CTSI Population Health Program Population health seeks to identify and address variation in needs, care experiences, intervention efficacy, and outcomes for a defined group. In health systems, closing gaps often require collective actions of complex interdependent medical and social care systems in communities. The CTSI co-developed a Population Health Program with the local health department
