TTR • Translational Technology Resources Program

The Strategic Goals of the TTR Program are to:

• Improve clinical and translational investigator access to campus technologies
• Facilitate coordination of campus Core resources
• Develop and implement new training programs with an emphasis on technology in order to meet the needs of emerging translational research
• Increase the adoption of innovative new technologies for clinical and translational research by making resources widely available to the scientific community

Ongoing Activities Include:

• Comprehensive survey of available Core resources
• Creation of a Core Leadership Advisory Committee (CLAC)
• Support and development of technology seminars, workshops, and symposia
• Funding of Core Technologies in association with the Strategic Opportunity Support (SOS) Center
• Core Facilities Leadership Retreat
• Participation in campus-wide steering group charged with coordination of Core resources
