The CORES Multi-Institutional Pilot Program is a phased pilot model designed to spark collaborative translational science across a multi institutional network. The initiative will accelerate the development, testing, and implementation of innovative solutions to improve health outcomes, while building strong collaborative pathways to drive meaningful care model transformation in rural communities and position these efforts for national scaling through external funding.
The program will take place in 3 phases.
- Phase 1 - interested investigators apply to join cross-institutional teams organized around shared translational challenges
- Phase 2 - assembled teams collaborate to develop their projects, refining questions and co-creating proposals designed for real-world impact in rural settings
- Phase 3 - funded projects are executed; teams work together to put their plans into action with ongoing support from the CORES consortium
Focus areas:
- Data and technology infrastructure for rural health - harnessing AI, remote monitoring, data integration, and real-world data pipelines to create scalable, tech enabled solutions that improve health outcomes across rural environments
- Chronic disease prevention, diagnosis, and management - emphasizing partnerships with Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRNs) and clear translational and implementation strategies to improve chronic disease care in rural communities
- Maternal and infant health - innovative approaches to overcoming barriers in access to maternal and infant care, with an emphasis on improving outcomes for rural populations
Faculty or faculty equivalent at participating CTSA institutions (including partner institutions) who are eligible to receive federal funding may apply.
Non-faculty research staff or administrators may participate but will not be able to serve as PI of the funded project.
Funding will be awarded during Phase 3 only.
During Phase 2, each team will submit a full application, with up to one application per project area selected for funding.
During Phase 3, funded teams will receive up to $25,000 in direct costs per participating institution to support project implementation. Final funding levels may vary based on the number of participating sites and project scope.
Follow submission procedures in the application instructions.
