The Pilot and Collaborative Studies Resource (PCSR) is central to achieving the goals of the Irving Institute by providing incentives to both young clinical and translational (C/T) investigators, as they obtain pilot data prior to submitting funding applications, and more senior investigators who may not otherwise engage in multi- and interdisciplinary research.
- Expanding and optimizing the utilization of outstanding new and existing resources on CUMC
- Training a new generation of multidisciplinary clinical and translational investigators
- Enhancing recruitment of exceptional clinical and translational investigators to pre-clinical and clinical departments at CUMC
- Creating incentives for mentoring junior faculty and outreach from one department or school or campus to other interested researchers
