Three integrated research cores

Specialized expertise, connected across the Center.

GCDTR’s three research cores bring together complementary expertise in data and AI, human-centered design, community and clinical engagement, behavioral science, and regional technology translation. Investigators can engage a single core or draw on multiple cores to build the right team for their research question.

Core B

Data, AI, Design Core

Combines data science, artificial intelligence, rigorous methods, and human-centered design to strengthen study development, analysis, and translation.

Cross-core support

One research question can engage more than one core.

GCDTR can connect investigators with the right expertise and assemble cross-core support when a project spans multiple methodological, clinical, community, or technology needs.
