BOOTSTRAP CTR ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN WEST
“a rising tide that … … lifts all ships.”
We will sink or swim based on the increase in “R-level” translational
and clinical research that we achieve across the region over
the next 4 years

Established Investigators moving from bench to translational or clinical
Projects focused on health issues relevant to the region, including those in rural and vulnerable populations
What will it do?
Use an NIH-style approach to applications and funding
Model the processes that clinical and translational investigators need to master to compete successfully for NIH support
