This paper describes initiatives of the Mountain West Clinical and Translational Research Infrastructure Network, covering six states and 12 universities since 2013, to evaluate participation of the full range of underrepresented faculty in the region. Using the NIH’s expanded definition of underrepresented, we collected demographic data from our researchers and will present these results in this session. Furthermore, we will discuss how we’ve implemented steps to collect this data prospectively to better characterize researchers from rural and medically underserved Mountain West IDeA states and the implications these characterizations may have for the conduct of clinical and translational research in our region.
