GCDTR Membership Application

The Georgia Center for Diabetes Translation Research (GCDTR) is a collaboration of Emory University, Georgia Tech, and Morehouse School of Medicine, with funding provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and interinstitutional sponsors. The mission of the center is to facilitate and grow diabetes translation research at the partner institutions within Georgia and regionally with the overarching theme of health equity across race/ethnicity, age, sex, and gender identity, geography (rural, urban), and associated comorbid conditions (e.g.,

cardiovascular disease, HIV, depression, covid-19, and others).



Membership in the Georgia Center for Diabetes Translation Research (GCDTR) is open to community members that possess a predominant interest in moving type II translational diabetes-related research forward in Georgia and the Southeastern Region of the United States.

Design and Evaluation for Equity

Translation research and data, especially in the areas of health services research, design, and evaluation can help close the gaps of identifying people at risk and with diabetes, and uptaking of prevention programs to reduce morbidity, especially among the vulnerable and minorities by tailoring diabetes prevention and control efforts to better suit target populations, and by generating policy- and practice-oriented data to inform investments in diabetes interventions.


Socioecological and Behavioral Science for Equity

Effective translation research can efficiently identify ways to improve uptake, adoption, utilization, and maintained engagement with evidence-based prevention and care programs. Engagement and Behavior Change is well-positioned to catalyze this sort of diabetes translation research by leveraging its multidisciplinary expertise, its extensive experience in community- and clinic-based research, its access to ethnic minority physician practice networks, and its access to ethnic minority communities and clinical populations. This Core has extensive breadth and depth of experience and expertise in community-based participatory research (CBPR) with minority disadvantaged communities and clinical populations. Though these are often underrepresented populations in translation research, this core brings experience in facilitating their ethical recruitment, retention, and sustained engagement in health promotion and research activities.


Technologies Advancing Translation and Equity

The Regional Core on Technologies Advancing Translation and Equity includes partners from the Jaeb Center for Health Research, University of Florida, University of Miami and University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center. The Core aims to create and support a regional translation research network in the Southeastern United States that will identify key gaps, share best practices, and work toward open, accessible technology approaches for reducing health care disparities in diabetes care and prevention.
