Catalytic Seed Grants (CSG) for Early Career Faculty
|
|
If you are an early-stage investigator looking for a way to start a research project, check out the CSG funding mechanism. The ICTR
prioritizes
junior faculty for CSGs that can generate data for new extramural grant applications. Projects supported by these CTSA funds must be
clinical or translational in nature, and must fall into our priority areas. Over the past several years, these Seed Grants have helped investigators garner
over $17 million in extramural funding in areas such as the microbiome and type 2 diabetes among Latinos, frailty assessments in the ICU, airway dynamics in sleep apnea in children, and managing asthma with a smartphone. To learn about the CSG program and how to apply,

Revamping Clinical Research Management
|
|
|
There’s lots going on at Einstein-Montefiore in this arena—both because our Institution is modernizing its processes, and because there are new national guidelines regulating clinical research. Some of these changes have to do with facilitating clinical trial management with new electronic tools built into Epic, IRB systems, and Velos. To engage the entire Einstein-Montefiore community, we have been sponsoring a monthly
Research Strategy Forum. If your team is doing clinical research, your department has a representative attending these monthly events to engage all the stakeholders. You can review the archived meeting PowerPoints
here.

IDDRC Pilot Funds Available
|
|
The Rose F. Kennedy Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (RFK IDDRC) has funds available for intellectual and developmental disabilities-related pilot and feasibility awards for both basic and translational projects. The awards funds are intended to enable new and established investigators to generate preliminary data in order to successfully apply for extramural funding for their projects. Studies that combine the efforts of basic scientists and clinicians to better understand and/or treat human intellectual and developmental disabilities are of particular relevance for this funding mechanism.

Nyack Hospital Transplantation Collaboration
|
|
|
Nyack Hospital and the Montefiore Einstein Center for Transplantation have announced a new collaboration for evaluating patients with liver and kidney failure and hepatobiliary disease. Nyack hospital physicians and Montefiore specialists will work together to evaluate patients in West Nyack, allowing patients to remain close to home for their transplant evaluation tests. Performing early evaluation tests for patients in Rockland County means identifying patients in the earliest states of disease.This program is one of Montefiore Health System's expansion healthcare services to the area and hopes to provide comprehensive care in an easily accessible manner.
