Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR)
The Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR) at the University of Michigan is part of a national network working to accelerate the translation of research discoveries into improved health. Established in 2006, MICHR receives support from the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS).
Translational science studies the scientific and operational challenges that slow or prevent research from improving health, and develops solutions that improve the research process. By examining the research ecosystem at a systems level, translational science generates generalizable innovations that improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and impact of research across health conditions and disease areas.
The MICHR Translational Science Hub provides a curated space for work that examines and improves how research moves from discovery to real-world impact. The Hub highlights lessons, methods, and innovations that reduce barriers, improve research processes, and accelerate the translation of knowledge into practice.
Submission Scope
We welcome submissions focused on translational science, including:
- Identification of common causes of inefficiency or failure in translational research projects that warrant further investigation.
- Evidence-informed innovations, including methods, tools, processes, or programs, that address operational or scientific roadblocks across the translational continuum and improve the quality, safety, efficiency, effectiveness, informativeness, or impact of research.
Who Can Submit
We accept submissions from MICHR-affiliated faculty, staff, community members, patient partners, and partner organizations.
Students may submit with a faculty member or senior researcher as a co-author to ensure adherence to ICMJE authorship standards.
External researchers interested in contributing should contact the MICHR Channel Administrator before submitting.
Peer-Reviewed Article Types
- Original Articles
- Reviews
- Case Reports
- Editorials
Case Reports are detailed descriptions of individual clinical cases. Cureus welcomes editorials from senior clinicians or researchers with an established history of publishing with Cureus.
Additional Content
We also welcome:
- Posters and abstracts. See the Meetings tab.
- Non-peer-reviewed materials, such as reports, reflections, practice insights, or other practice-based outputs. See the Other Content tab.
Submission Guidelines
All authors must:
- Review the Cureus Author Instructions before submission.
- Ensure submissions follow Cureus formatting requirements.
- Upload articles through the MICHR Academic Channel.
All submissions must adhere to Cureus editorial policies. For technical assistance, contact the Cureus support team at [email protected].
Use of Artificial Intelligence
Peer-reviewed articles adhere to Cureus policies, including its policy on artificial intelligence.
For materials submitted to the Other Content section, authors must disclose the use of artificial intelligence tools if they contribute to the development of the submission beyond basic copyediting. This includes drafting text, generating figures, analyzing data, or producing other substantive content. Authors remain responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of all submitted materials.
