activity systems, assets, expectations, and relationships
with partners, including attendings and practice groups.

research center; establishment of faculty development plan,
resident research funding mechanism, practice group partnerships;
and formulated a clinical research fellowship program for
attendings.

residency programs have been granted full or provisional
approval.

base and clinical offerings, integrated research focus options
with national funding opportunities, coached leadership
and investigators, and recommended a pathway to jointly
establish a mutually beneficial strategic plan for basic
and clinical research.

Outcome:
Several large externally funded clinically oriented research
programs, including a $15 million NIH center award.
