Research Resource Centers
In collaboration with various external research resources, MSM faculty and student investigators can advance their research endeavors through the usage of state-of-the-art equipment, access to funding and partnerships with other scientists.
Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI): MSM’s biomedical research infrastructure receives much of its support through the RCMI program, which is sponsored by the National Centers for Research Resources of the NIH. With RCMI funding, state-of-the art bio-medical research technology cores, shared use facilities, and other resources at MSM are available to our scientific investigators.
RCMI-Center for Clinical and Translational Research (R-CTR): The R-CTR supports the development of infrastructure required to conduct clinical and translational science. This infrastructure includes outpatient clinical research resources, biostatistical support, core laboratories, and facilities to support patient-oriented investigations.
Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute (ACTSI): ACTSI is an inter-institutional magnet that concentrates basic, translational and clinical investigators, community clinicians, professional societies and industry collaborators in dynamic clinical and translational research projects. This partnership between Emory, MSM and Georgia Institute of Technology forms a strategic multiinstitutional alliance that offers compelling, unique and synergistic advantages.
Clinical Research Center (CRC): Founded in 1996, the CRC provides the clinical research infrastructure that is uniquely suited for the pursuit of clinical and translational research in minority and underrepresented communities. It is the first free-standing outpatient research facility in the nation to receive accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations.
