Welcome! | Oklahoma Clinical and Translational Science Institute

Our Mission

Established in 2013, the Oklahoma Clinical and Translational Science Institute serves as a catalyst for clinical and translational research that improves health and healthcare for Oklahomans, to provide training and infrastructure to help junior investigators to launch independent research careers, and to expand the opportunities of IDeA states and Oklahoma communities to participate in research that improves the health of our residents.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Oklahoma's cumulative COVID-19 incidence is higher in rural than urban counties and higher than the overall US incidence. Furthermore, fewer Oklahomans have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine compared to the US average. Our goal is to conduct a randomized controlled trial using the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) to test multiple educational interventions to improve uptake of COVID-19 vaccination among Oklahomans.
