By virtue of the founding of the Louisiana Sexually Transmitted Diseases Research Center (LaSTDRC) in January of 2002 based on a grant from the Louisiana Board of Regents Health Excellence Fund, Dr. Martin already has a functioning administrative core that is carrying out most of the functions that will be required in an STI TM CRC core.
