The Northern New England Clinical & Translational Research Network (NNE-CTR) is committed to health equity in communities, with a focus on rurality. Through collaborations with an expanding network engaging their academic institutions, health care organizations, and local community stakeholders, NNE-CTR leverages innovative strategies and technologies to address health and healthcare challenges, particularly around research and infrastructure, to meet the needs of the region. 

The goals of NNE-CTR include: (a) expanding infrastructure, collaborations, and human resources to meet clinical and translational research needs in northern New England; (b) strengthening bidirectional community engagement to ensure research reflects the health priorities and diversity of the region; and (c) serving as a bridge connecting northern New Englanders with nationwide resources and initiatives. 

This network analysis will allow NNE-CTR to visualize their network relationships across sectors and collaborative partners, provide insights about how these partnerships work, identify opportunities to address gaps and continued development of partnerships, and demonstrate the impact of their collective efforts, particularly in addressing these efforts within a clinical context.
