MISSOULA – The National Institutes of Health recently awarded the University of Montana an $11
million grant with this goal: Create a research center to improve the health of all Montanans.
The funding launches the Montana Clinical and Translational Research Center, which is housed in
UM’s School of Public and Community Health Sciences. The new Montana CTRC will build clinical research
capacity with partner organizations across the state, including both clinical and public health stakeholders, and
translate research findings into practical patient care to benefit all Montanans.
The center initially will fund up to five research projects a year, incubating them with the goal
of securing larger funding in the future.
