Building Research Capacity
By supporting and growing our network of faculty, trainees, and community members to engage in new research aligned with our identified priorities, we build research capacity. Through tailored education, access to new research opportunities, centralized resources, and funding, we enable and empower these individuals and teams to contribute meaningfully to reducing cardiometabolic disease prevalence. This collaborative approach ensures that our efforts are focused and impactful, leading to tangible advancements in addressing the risk and burden of cardiometabolic disease locally and globally.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY 1.1
OBJECTIVE
To create and cultivate a nurturing interdisciplinary environment that empowers students and trainees to excel in their academic and professional pursuits, thereby contributing to the advancement of research priorities aimed at reducing the burden of cardiometabolic diseases.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY 1.2
OBJECTIVE
To strengthen community capacity and leadership by empowering local organizations to spearhead research projects and initiatives aimed at addressing cardiometabolic disease burden within their communities and beyond.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY 1.3
OBJECTIVE
To foster the professional growth and expertise of faculty members while expanding the research network to include interdisciplinary perspectives and provide access to funding opportunities, thereby enhancing the collective capacity to address cardiometabolic disease challenges.
Achieving our goal of Building Research Capacity will result in a robust research environment that enables faculty, trainees, and community members to drive significant advancements in cardiometabolic disease prevention and management. Our initiatives will foster interdisciplinary collaboration, enhance professional growth, and build community leadership, leading to innovative solutions and improved health outcomes.
