Help the UR CTSI Map Collaborations
Among Researchers
Martin Zand, M.D., Ph.D., and Nancy Bennett, M.D., co-directors of the UR CTSI, urge all UR faculty members to complete an online survey on research collaborations. The survey takes 10 minutes or less and will help us understand how our research environment is evolving and where we could focus efforts to foster collaborative science and support emerging investigators and networks. Participating investigators, networks, groups, centers or departments can request their results, which will be available in early 2020. Learn more about the survey and past results on the UR CTSI Stories blog.
