The SNF Institute supports the Rockefeller University Hospital and the clinical research support infrastructure and educational programs that are also supported by the University’s Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) from the National Center for Advancing Translational Science. Rockefeller University was first awarded a CTSA at the inception of the program in 2006 and has been continuously funded under the award since then. The CTSA supports workforce development and our translational research navigation program, including personnel who provide advice on a range of important services, including biostatistics, bioinformatics, research participant recruitment, protection of research participants, bionutrition, informatics, community engagement, and dissemination and implementation of research results. It also partially supports a Pilot Grant program and the KL2 Clinical Scholars Program, a 3-year Master’s degree-granting program for junior physician scientists and doctoral level translational investigators.
