Through funding by National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and UInnovation, the Miami CTSI successfully wrapped up the University’s first I-Corps™ entrepreneurial research training program called I-Corps@UM-CTSI.

Since 2015 the University of Miami, led by Miami CTSI Program Director Olveen Carrasquillo, M.D., and manager and co-president of the Florida Community Health Worker Coalition, Brendaly Rodriguez, along with the Health Council of South Florida, have developed and piloted a structured research training program in patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) for community health workers. As a result, hundreds have been trained and certified in Florida and other states around the country.

One-on-one grant writing consultations with Dr. Mary Lou King are available to help University of Miami faculty researchers, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students with new or previous grant submissions.
