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 underserved and underrepresented populations, 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. 

Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational Resources

OSCTR is Oklahoma's NIH-funded IDeA-CTR that provides resources, information, and training to help individuals or communities involved in performing clinical and translational research in the state

Oklahoma Primary Healthcare Improvement Cooperative

 

OPHIC is the implementation science arm of a statewide network to help improve healthcare delivery assisting primary care practices to adopt evidence-based best practices for the care of their patients.

OCTSI Clinical Research Unit

​​

The OCTSI CRU assists medical providers to identify and conduct clinical research opportunities in Oklahoma.

OSCTR Clinical Resources Space Availability

We would like all clinical investigators within our Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational Resources partner institutions to be aware that the OSCTR Clinical Research space in the Harold Hamm Diabetes Center is now open and available for your clinical research studies. We have a new clinical research coordinator, Janice Gales, who looks forward to aiding investigators with clinical research projects and regulatory assistance. Janice is a registered nurse who has been involved in clinical research on campus since 1995. 

Translating Practice into Research Program RFA

This year the OSCTR is starting a research training program.

Translating Practice into Research (TPIR), for healthcare professionals, clinical investigators, and basic scientists funded by the NIH Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational Resources grant. The goal of the TPIR trainee program is to produce a group of clinicians and scientists who have the ability to translate their clinical observations and ideas for improving practice into practical and feasible research projects. Attached is a detailed description.

Assessment of clinical pregnancies in up to eight ovarian stimulation with intrauterine insemination treatment cycles in those unable to proceed with in vitro fertilization

Fertil Steril. 2024 Jul;122(1):114-120. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2024.02.018. Epub 2024 Feb 15.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the primary objective of clinical pregnancy (CP) rate per ovarian stimulation with intrauterine insemination (OS-IUI) treatment cycle in patients with repetitive cycles up to a maximum of 8 cycles.

DESIGN: Retrospective cohort.

SETTING: Large fertility clinic.

PATIENTS: A total of 37,565 consecutive OS-IUI cycles from 18,509 patients were included in this study.

Smartphone-Based Survey and Message Compliance in Adults Initially Unready to Quit Smoking: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial

JMIR Form Res. 2024 Jun 7;8:e56003. doi: 10.2196/56003.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Efficacy of smartphone-based interventions depends on intervention content quality and level of exposure to that content. Smartphone-based survey completion rates tend to decline over time; however, few studies have identified variables that predict this decline over longer-term interventions (eg, 26 weeks).

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify predictors of survey completion and message viewing over time within a 26-week smoking cessation trial.
