In September, several of our ICTS leaders attended the CORES Annual Meeting hosted by The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Translational Research Institute (UAMS TRI) in Little Rock, Arkansas. This meeting was a gathering of representatives from each academic medical institution involved in the Consortium of Rural States (CORES), a collaborative research consortium working to improve health in rural communities with funding from the Clinical & Translational Science Award (CTSA) of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) at the National Institutes of Health.

In October of 2025, Heath Davis presented at the Annual Clinical and Translational Science Award Meeting. It was there that they were awarded Best Poster in Biomedical Informatics for their project on the "Iowa Health Data Resource: A Scalable Ecosystem for Advancing Translational science through Data, Workforce, and Infrastructure Innovation."
