Workforce Heterogeneity
Diverse workplaces create more innovative and effective interventions for our entire population. One of the goals of Frontiers is to advocate and facilitate the recruitment, retention and overall success of a diverse workforce across all partner institutions and to build an inclusive environment where diversity is valued as an essential asset for generating knowledge that most benefits the diverse populations that we serve.
Community and Collaboration / Team Science
Frontiers offers bidirectional education for investigators and patients, and community members to learn about one another for optimal participatory research as well as training in best engagement practices. Investigators can get guidance on developing a patient or community advisory board, survey design, translating materials, working with communities to disseminate research, and connecting with the community with the help of health and social service agencies. For additional information or to request a consultation, please click on Contact Us and fill out the consultation request.
Science Communication Services
Frontiers offers free editing services to help clinical and translational researchers succeed in their science communication efforts, such as grant applications, manuscript submissions/revisions, and scientific presentations. The editor works with researchers to maximize clarity and effectiveness of their scientific communications, regardless of target audience- from lay people to scientific experts.
Recruitment and Network Capacity
The goal of the Network Capacity Core is to expand Frontiers programs with an emphasis on supporting multicenter research studies and contributions to national CTSA initiatives. Included in these goals is alleviating some of the barriers that exist in connecting researchers with training and collaborative opportunities. For additional information or to request a consultation, please click on Contact Us and fill out the consultation request.
Genomics
The Frontiers Genomics Core (FGC) connects translational investigators with advanced technologies and expertise to support the study of genomic changes across diseases, lifespan, environments, and diverse populations. For additional information or to request a consultation, please click on Contact Us and fill out the consultation request.
Implementation Science
The field of dissemination and implementation science promotes the utilization of methods and frameworks that support the adoption and adaptation of evidence-based interventions and policies into real world practice and health care. Frontiers can provide support to investigators who are looking to incorporate these methods into their own research.
Hub Research Capacity
With the support of a dedicated Frontiers Navigator, investigators can develop, initiate, and complete studies using Frontiers-affiliated Clinical and Translational Science Units (CTSUs). For additional information or to request a consultation, please click on Contact Us and fill out the consultation request.
Physical Activity Measurement
The Field-Based Physical Activity Measurement Core offers data collection and processing services for field-based physical activity-related projects (physical activity measurements with clinical or community research participants using accelerometers or similar person-worn monitors). The core has substantial expertise in using various field-based physical activity monitors in children and adults and manages an inventory of different monitors that can be rented when available. The core’s services span data collection planning, distribution and management of monitors, data processing, and consulting.
