Clinical Neuroscience Research Initiative
Clinical Neuroscience Research Excellence Initiative
Two clinical research programs administered by the Perot Neuroscience Translational Research Center will support OBI's goal of developing impactful therapies for patients with brain disease.
The OBI Human Neuroscience Collaborative Research Program provides resources and funding for clinical research teams pursuing hypothesis-driven projects that will further scientific knowledge developed through human neuroscience research. The goals of the program are to encourage clinical and translational interdisciplinary research team development; development of a database and/or repository of well characterized specific patient cohorts; and creation of a sustainable plan to continue interdisciplinary clinical research efforts.
The OBI Clinical Investigator Development Program supports early career faculty pursuing prospective human subject research. In addition to funding, the O'Donnell Brain Institute will assist with assembling a peer mentor group that can provide support in areas such as career development, leadership development, scientific writing, and peer review.
