CTSI Matchmaking through UNYTE: Extending Researchers’ Reach2017 Karen Vitale, MSEdProgram Manager, GR-PBRN & UNYTE
UNYTE Mission & Vision Mission: UNYTE fosters transdisciplinary and trans-institutional collaborations and engages community and regional partners to demonstrate and disseminate methods and approaches to advance translational research. Vision: By 2020, UNYTE will be a replicable model environment for research across the translational spectrum, conducted by inter-institutional, transdisciplinary patient-and community-engaged teams.
Resources UNYTE has also developed a custom NIH RePORTER Database of NIH funded grants and contracts awarded to UNYTE institutions. The Research Project Database is an on-line, searchable inventory of research projects at UNYTE institutions. The information may help users find collaborators or mentors across UNYTE with the database search tools.
UNYTE Scientific Sessions Purpose: To bring together researchers, clinical leaders, and data scientists from across UNYTE institutions to spark interdisciplinary collaborations in practice-based research, clinical innovation, patient engagement, and research recruitment. We will explore what research brings to the clinical enterprise, what clinical insights bring to research, and the power of the partnerships to inspire and focus health research for maximum impact.
