Advancing Clinical Research and Community Collaboration: Dr. Jon Klein on UofL’s Transformative Grant Initiative


Listen Later

In this episode of

Faculty Feed, Dr. Jon Klein, Professor of Medicine at the University of
Louisville (U of L), discusses a new institutional grant received by U of L for
clinical and translational research. Dr. Klein shares his background and
evolution within UofL’s faculty, eventually leading him to his current role
overseeing research and innovation. The grant, the Clinical and Translational
Research Development (CTRD) award, will provide funding to strengthen U of L’s
research infrastructure, support training for investigators, and build
community engagement. Dr. Klein explains the four main "cores" of the
initiative: administrative, professional development, health research, and
community engagement, each contributing to the university’s efforts to double
its clinical trials, improve collaboration with healthcare partners, and foster
a research culture involving both faculty and citizen scientists. This project
aims to create a sustainable pathway for training academic researchers across
UofL while building partnerships with underserved urban and rural communities.
