Program Summary

The goal of the AB Nexus Research Collaboration Grant Program is to support interdisciplinary research activities that leverage expertise across campuses. Teams submitting a proposal should aim to answer relevant research questions related to basic science and/or translational technology approaches, such as:

• Basic Science Approaches:
  • What challenges related to human well-being could be investigated via unique collaborations between two or more disciplines?
  • What new discoveries related to the study of disease and other factors that negatively impact human well-being could be achieved?
• Translational Approaches:
  • What unmet needs related to operations within clinical science, clinical systems, health services, population health, environmental science or social science could inform and drive the development of novel research technologies and capabilities?
  • What opportunities are there for two or more disciplines to come together to translate innovations that positively impact humans, patients, practice, or population health?
