Highlights:
To transform the way research is carried out at New York University (NYU) and enhance the quality and productivity of the research effort, NYU and the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) will establish a Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI). The CTSI will aim to increase collaboration among clinical, translational and basic scientists across NYU to better determine the relevance and applicability of scientific advances to clinical problems. It will also strive to provide leadership, infrastructure and resources to support novel science and the rapid, efficient and safe application of scientific discoveries to the community. A third aim will be to support education, training and development of researchers who can conduct the investigations necessary to bring scientific advances to the public. Finally, the CTSI will work to enhance the ties between NYU researchers and the community in order to more rapidly identify health problems, investigate their scientific basis, apply the knowledge gained, promote use of new developments and evidence-based medicine by the community, and reduce health care disparities.
The CTSI will link NYU and the HHC in a new venture designed to bring their resources to bear on the health problems facing New York and the nation in the 21st century. Combining strengths and synergies in research, patient care and community outreach, it will provide a new and innovative engine for translation of medical advances from the laboratory to the patient and from the patient to the community.
