PARTNER INSTITUTIONAugusta University
Augusta, Georgia
Adds statewide public health, rural hospital, telehealth, and population-health expertise through the Institute of Public and Preventive Health and Center for Rural Health.
Partner Institutions
A ten-institution network combining diabetes science, community partnerships, engineering, rural health, and regional technology expertise.
TEN INSTITUTIONS · ONE SHARED MANDATE
Moving Diabetes Translation Research Forward.
Ten institutions. One integrated center of expertise. GCDTR draws strength from a network that spans diabetes and cardiometabolic science, AI and data science, engineering and technology, precision and population health, behavioral science, clinical translation, rural health, community engagement, and implementation. By bringing these capabilities together, the Center can assemble multidisciplinary teams, connect investigators to specialized resources and populations, and move promising ideas more efficiently from discovery through translation and real-world impact.
