Save the Date: Annual CTSI Retreat July 25th

Accelerating Research to Improve Health:
The Future of CTSI at UCSF

The UCSF community and CTSI partners are invited to participate in this annual event highlighting CTSI's progress and future plans. This year's retreat will focus on CTSI's evolution toward greater independence. Although funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and initially based on its vision, we have an opportunity to craft the Institute’s future priorities in a way that maximally supports the strategic plans of UCSF and its partners. A major focus will be to develop a sustainable organization, supported through diverse income sources and strategic partnerships. As a result, this year’s retreat will focus on a vision for CTSI’s future and the steps necessary to transform our business model.

When: Wednesday, July 25th, 12-5pm (reception to follow)
Where
: Mission Bay Campus, Rutter Conference Center, Fisher Banquet Room
Please RSVP, and direct any questions, to Billy Davis ([email protected])
