The center's overarching goal is to transform the pace, effectiveness, and
quality of translational research among UAMS and its partners, resulting in
better health for all Arkansans. The CCTR includes scientists from all UAMS
colleges and disciplines, with representatives from all CCTR external partners
and the statewide community. The severity and advanced state of health problems
in Arkansas, combined with the central location of UAMS and its existing
strengths, increase the value and health benefits of the CCTR. UAMS is a leader
in translational methodologies in a predominantly rural state and thus plays a
critical role in many such national programs seeking to addresses the diverse
and challenging health problems of rural health. We have been able to build the
solid foundation of our CCTR with existing strengths, which include strong
institutional support, rapidly expanding facilities, outstanding academic
programs, strong institutional partners, and recognized areas of research
excellence.We encourage you to learn more about our Core Areas and how they may
