Clinical & Translational Science Institute / Collaboration

Collaboration

The UR CTSI provides research teams with various opportunities to partner with other clinical or translational researchers—both near and far—as well as physicians, research staff and the community. We help you make connections that can move your research forward.

Community Engagement

Engaging the community at all stages of research is a UR CTSI guiding principle. In partnership with the Center for Community Health & Prevention, the UR CTSI offers consultations to help researchers collaborate with the community.

UR CTSI Funding Leads to New Grant for Childhood Tooth Decay Prevention App

URMC researchers are developing a smartphone app that can detect and prevent severe tooth decay in underserved kids. The idea for new app came directly from the impacted communities via a previous Community-Based Participatory Research study that was funded by the UR CTSI.

Research Centers in Minority Institutions Scholarly Exchange

The UR CTSI offers research faculty, staff, trainees and students up to $3,000 to support collaborations with their counterparts at Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI). These centers are part of the RCMI program, supported by the National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities, which aims to foster the next generation of researchers from underrepresented populations. Learn more about the RCMI Scholarly Exchange.

Empire Discovery Institute

The University of Rochester, University at Buffalo and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center have joined together to form the Empire Discovery Institute (EDI), a powerful drug discovery partnership that aims to convert the institutions’ scientific breakthroughs into viable pharmaceuticals for commercialization. This not-for-profit institute also strengthens the region as a hub for life sciences research and development.
