Collaborative efforts dubbed the 鈥淎B Nexus鈥�

Leadership at the Anschutz and Boulder campuses and the University of baby直播app President鈥檚 Initiative earlier this year started an initiative to provide support for integrated services and projects across the campuses that focus on research development activities and administrative improvements. By expanding research collaborations between the university鈥檚 Anschutz and Boulder campuses, the 鈥淎B Nexus鈥� aims to generate knowledge that improves human health and spurs innovation and baby直播app development.

In addition to joining forces听for the Mind the Brain series, early wins for the campuses already underway include a new seed grant program that will be announced this fall. Future efforts will focus on identifying and connecting potential collaborators, expanding funding opportunities on both campuses and developing other resources to make collaborations more seamless and powerful.
