Innovative Partnerships
Partnerships in the WWAMI Region
The Institute of Translational Health Sciences seeks to establish collaborations and partnerships
with scientists, health systems, industry, clinical practices, and communities throughout the
Washington Wyoming Alaska Montana Idaho (WWAMI) region. Individuals throughout the WWAMI region
are encouraged to join the ITHS.
The ITHS is establishing a working group whose goal is to develop a plan for
integration of other partners throughout the WWAMI region into the ITHS so that
they may have access to the infrastructure and activities of the Institute. 
Examples of these partners are scientists at state Universities or other
educational institutions, clinical health systems, and industries throughout the
WWAMI region that are either involved in or interested in developing clinical or
translational research. For more information on this effort, contact Dr. Linda
Hyman, Vice Provost for the Division of Health Sciences and Director of the
Montana WWAMI Medical Education Program at Montana State University.
