Transformational Research Funding
Researchers from our department are helping to lead all five Transformational Research Funding initiatives launched in 2016 by the CU School of Medicine:
Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute - The Department of Medicine is a very active participant in CCTSI, which provides the infrastructure to build research teams and speed the development of new treatments to improve human health.
SPARK Program – Department of Medicine faculty are part of the SPARK Program’s cohorts, which focuses on technologies addressing unmet clinical needs to bridge the “translational gap” between the lab bench and the patient, accelerating academic discoveries from the lab to patient care.
Endowed Chairs – The Department of Medicine has 44 endowed chairs and a federally-designated Cancer Center enabling us to pursue new understanding and treatment of diseases that are afflicting millions of Americans.
The Department of Medicine's Research Office administers funding programs and support initiatives to promote the success of our researchers:
