- R-Center Goal
- The long-term goal of the R-CENTER is to train the next generation of minority clinical and translational scientists to pursue multidisciplinary approaches to discovery science that translate into the amelioration of health disparities.
- MSM has experienced tremendous growth and success of its research enterprise over the past decade based on a strategic plan that focuses our talent and resources in discrete areas that will serve the needs of minority communities.
- This R-CENTER builds upon the foundational infrastructure developed with the careful stewardship and investments of RCMI resources over the past decade. Our approach is to further enhance our research capacity in clinical and translational science by building effective partnerships and seeking synergies that leverage the collective strengths of our talented faculty, trainees, students and collaborators
- R-Center Aims
- Aim 1: Transform Our Institution - Establish an organizational framework for conducting clinical and translational research.
- Aim 2: Transform Our Research Environment - Establish a robust research and vibrant training environment that fosters innovative, multi-disciplinary clinical/translational research.
- Aim 3: Transform the Community of Biomedical Scientists-Training the Next Generation. Establish an institution-wide mechanism for recruiting, training and mentoring a critical mass of talented faculty engaged in multi-disciplinary clinical/translational research.
