Research Institutes & Centers

UTHealth comprises six schools and several centers and institutes whose work aligns with the university's mission of education, research, and clinical care.

The University encourages collaborative relationships among faculty to enhance its mission and goals. To that end, the university enables programs, divisions, departments, schools, other organizational entities and the university itself to establish collaborative units for interdisciplinary activities that complement and/or enhance its missions of education, research, patient care, and/or public service. Such units are commonly referred to as institutes, university centers, or laboratories and may be established and operated by guidelines developed by the Executive Vice President & Chief Academic Officer.

CCTS

Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences

The goal of the Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences (CCTS) is to facilitate clinical and translational research at UTHealth, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Memorial Hermann Health System. The CCTS is one of the original 12 centers funded by the National Institutes of Health’s Clinical and Translational Science Awards.

Center for Healthcare Quality and Safety

Center for Healthcare Quality and Safety

The Center for Healthcare Quality and Safety conducts research that generates new knowledge about how to improve the quality and safety of health care. The center actively disseminates their findings and facilitates educational programs designed to train researchers and caregivers on how to improve care.

Center For Laboratory Animal Medicine & Care

Center For Laboratory Animal Medicine and Care

UTHealth recognizes the importance of animals in research and the scientific and ethical responsibility for their humane care and use. All those involved with the use of laboratory animals are responsible for ensuring the health and well-being of the animals used in research and education at UTHealth.

Center for Translational Injury Research

Center for Translational Injury Research

The Center for Translational Injury Research (CeTIR) leads the research and development of next-generation medical technologies related to hemostasis, resuscitation, and computerized decision support for trauma patients.

Consortium On Aging

Consortium On Aging

The Consortium on Aging was established to lead UTHealth in meeting the challenge of providing quality health care for the growing elderly population in Houston. The Consortium is a university-wide collaborative effort that leverages the existing strengths and expertise of all the UTHealth schools, including the schools of medicine, nursing, dentistry, public health, biomedical informatics, and biomedical sciences.

COVID-19 Center of Excellence

COVID-19 Center of Excellence

UTHealth has expertise across the spectrum of adult and pediatric specialty and subspecialty care, public health, biomedical research, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence. This uniquely positions the COVID-19 Center of Excellence to provide patients with the highest quality care resulting in the best outcomes, to lead translational research and clinical research that will optimize treatments for COVID-19, and to develop preventive protocols that will help keep our communities safe long into the future.

Institute for Implementation Science

Institute for Implementation Science

The UTHealth Institute for Implementation Science aims to advance implementation research and practice through transdisciplinary, translational team science. The ultimate impact of health innovations depends not only on their effectiveness but also on their reach in the population and the extent to which they are adopted, implemented, and maintained over time. Despite substantial advances in health innovations, a research-to-practice gap remains, limiting our ability to improve health and quality of life equitably. In response, UTHealth established the Institute for Implementation Science to create the infrastructure to accelerate the use of evidence to improve population health by bridging the research-to-practice gap.

Neuroscience Research Center

Neuroscience Research Center

The Neuroscience Research Center (NRC) facilitates scientific research and collaborative efforts in the neurosciences, creating an atmosphere of scientific exchange through multiple routes.
