Research Resources
Development of Novel Clinical and Translational Methodologies
The DNCTM seeks to create a transforming research environment in which investigators gain access
to the expertise and tools needed to prepare innovative ideas for human testing. In this way, novel
technologies and methodologies are supported and sustained through the early phases of development
when funding and expertise are most needed. This collaborative environment will have four
cornerstones;
a) enhanced communication and interactions among partners
b) bidirectional access to expertise and resources for drug and device development
in the community
c) educational programs to facilitate development and commercialization
of translational research
d) initiatives to decrease barriers to collaboration.
