About the Fund

About the Strategic Initiative Support Fund

The partnership between UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital and the CU Anschutz School of Medicine represents an important opportunity to strengthen collaboration and advance our shared missions of translating research and education into impactful clinical opportunities.

Through the UCHA Strategic Initiative Support Fund, leaders from both institutions will work together to identify and support strategic initiatives that advance these missions across the CU Anschutz campus.

Funding decisions are guided by five priority themes and five cross-cutting platforms, and by a rigorous, consistent review process. Together they chart our course to the Top 10.

Funding awards are discretionary and subject to the availability of funds. All funding is provided on an annual basis with subsequent years supported based on progress towards goals.
