EXPECTED RESULTS

The capacity of the CTSN will expand into rural populations with high cardiovascular disease.

Implementation science will be integrated in future CTSN research

MMC will be a leading enroller in CTSN trials

Early career investigators will be trained in and perform late-stage implementation research using the CTSN infrastructure

These results will support the mission of the LCRC program in expanding the capacity of cardiothoracic surgery research in areas of need.
