OVERVIEW

The IDeA State Consortium for a Clinical Research Resource Center (ISCORE-RC) aims to significantly increase the number of clinical research studies in IDeA states. Funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), ISCORE-RC is dedicated to improving the infrastructure, training, and capacity needed to foster clinical research in underresourced regions. Our mission is to create a robust and sustainable clinical research environment that can support more clinical trials, ultimately advancing medical research in these critical areas.
