UCI Receives $20 Million Dollar Grant From NIH To Expedite Moving Scientific Discoveries to the Doctors Offices

Just opened this year too at UCI is the new Medical Education Center which will make sharing and educating others a lot easier with Televideo. Also, not too long ago I did a walk through of Miller’s Children’s Hospital in Long Beach, which is a teaching facility for UCI and I did get to see their modern auditorium away from the operating room to allow for academic learning without the old style theater and that hospital had everything state of the art to include a 320 bit CT scanner too. With the televideo connection I am sure that videos from other UCI facilities will be possible too.

With both facilities being connected, children’s research will also benefit here, and Orange County has national status for scientific discoveries. BD

UC Irvine has been awarded a $20 million federal health grant to more quickly deliver scientific discoveries from the laboratory to the doctor's office.

The National Institutes of Health announced Wednesday that funding will go to the university's Institute for Clinical and Translational Science over the next five years. The grant is the sixth-largest in UCI history.

"It means Orange County now has a center that is nationally recognized to move scientific discoveries to the direct benefit of people's health," said Dr. Dan Cooper, director of UCI's institute. "I hope everyone in our community understands this is a huge honor for us, for our whole community."

In all, 55 research centers have been selected, including Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University and the Mayo Clinic.
