Clinical and Translational Science Research Retreat

The annual University of Massachusetts clinical and translational research retreat is part of the five-campus clinical and translational science movement across the University. In July 2010, UMass Medical School received a five-year, $20-million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support the recently established University of Massachusetts Center for Clinical and Translational Science (UMCCTS), which serves as the home for clinical and translational science and research across all UMass campuses. With this award, UMass Medical School joined the national consortium of institutions charged by the NIH with accelerating the process of turning laboratory discoveries into health benefits for individuals and populations, and enhancing the training of a new generation of researchers.
