The Center for Transformative Health is a community-engaged epidemiological research enterprise. Our work draws on rigorous methods grounded in epidemiology, biostatistics, and community-based research design, applied at the scale and depth required for both peer-reviewed scientific contribution and federal research and contracting.
Epidemiological methods. CTH conducts cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort studies, infectious and chronic disease surveillance, post-acute infection epidemiology, and population-level health assessment.
Biostatistical capacity.CTH conducts statistical analysis using SAS 9.4 as the primary platform, including descriptive epidemiology, multivariate modeling, symptom clustering, and longitudinal data analysis. Our biostatistical methods support both academic publication and federal reporting standards.
Federal-grade research infrastructure.CTH operates within Texas Southern University's institutional research infrastructure, including IRB review, sponsored research administration, federal contracting capability, and research data management aligned with HIPAA and federal human subjects research standards.
Community-based survey research.CTH has demonstrated expertise in designing and fielding community-based surveys at scale — including instrument development, sampling, recruitment through community partnerships, data collection, retention, and analysis. Our surveys are conducted with the communities they study, drawing on long-standing relationships with Houston's community-based organizations and faith communities.
Capacity for longitudinal and federal contracting work.CTH actively pursues federal contracting opportunities aligned with our methodological capacity, including longitudinal community-based surveys, post-acute infection surveillance, community health surveillance, and population-level epidemiological studies. We welcome conversations with federal agencies, prime contractors, and teaming partners considering CTH for relevant opportunities.
Mixed-methods evaluation.CTH integrates quantitative and qualitative methods in program evaluation, community-engaged research, and translational studies. Our evaluation work draws on validated theoretical frameworks (including Tinto, Bandura, and TIMSI) and produces both program-facing deliverables and peer-reviewed scholarship.
