THE OCR REPORT
A Message from Jon
At Yale, our goal is to achieve impact not income. We do strive to put people over profit. These are personal mantras of mine, and the motivation behind the work we do at OCR. Along with colleagues at the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH), Yale Pathology Lab (YPL), and several passionate partners across the country, our office recently had the honor of being part of an exciting announcement that makes good on that mission. We also successfully hosted our first large-scale webinar, the Blavatnik Fund for Innovation at Yale Showcase. To all those who joined us, to our presenters, thank you. We were able to facilitate several introductions for our talented Blavatnik awardees with VCs and industry partners. Now in its 5th year, we are currently accepting applicants for 2021 Blavatnik funding. More information about the application process can be found in our OCR Report.
