The consortium is designed to:

• Encourage the development of new methods and approaches to clinical and translational research
• Improve training and mentoring to ensure that new investigators can navigate the increasingly complex research system
• Design new and improved clinical research informatics tools
• Assemble interdisciplinary teams that cover the complete spectrum of medical research
• Forge new partnerships with private and public health care organizations
