Message from the Interim Director of Research Programs and Strategic Initiatives

 

From its earliest days, the GCC has led the development of high-impact, multi-institutional research collaborations that extend across geographic and institutional boundaries. It has been a privilege to work with more than 4,000 faculty, clinicians, trainees, and research scientists who design and implement innovative programs that leverage our shared resources and infrastructure. Together we achieve far more together than any single institution could alone.

Our collaborative environment is open to all researchers, and we recognize that diversity across institutions, backgrounds, and career stages is central to our impact. I am deeply grateful to the GCC Research Team, program leaders, and Steering Committee members whose dedication makes this work possible.

We continue to welcome talented new and early-career investigators to the region and invite you to connect with us to learn more.

Interim Director of Research Programs and Strategic Initiatives

One of the GCC’s most essential functions is bringing multiple institutions together to form powerful, domain-specific research consortia.

Organized by areas of interest, these focused partnerships catalyze interactions and provide a supportive environment for collaborative research programs requiring expertise beyond that which is possible by any single institution.
