Research

Much opportunity lies within the provisions of ARRA '09 and PPACA '10 for academic medical centers to lead in reforming health care. Moreover, it is our responsibility to devise the research modalities to critically assess reform efforts and to train the next generation of health care professionals in this important work. Dr. Slater is networking within the NYP-Columbia community to identify potential opportunities for grant funding to develop research and training programs by academic medical centers under the Health Innovation Zone, Section 3021 of ARRA '10.
