Howard University, in partnership with the Georgetown University Medical Center, has partnered to receive a $38 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to deliver medical breakthroughs and resulting treatments to communities in need. From the release:

“The GHUCCTS extends Howard University Health Sciences’ commitment to research that addresses the disparities that affect diverse and underserved populations,” says Robert E. Taylor, MD, PhD, dean of the College of Medicine at Howard Universityand professor of pharmacology, medicine and psychiatry.



”It also provides a vehicle for further integrating research with the educational and service missions of our institution.”

“The collaboration of multiple major teaching hospitals in the Washington, DC area will create one of the largest clinical research networks in the country,” says Verbalis of Georgetown. ”We will creatively combine considerable institutional strengths and talents in ways to enable the application of a larger breadth of resources for clinical and translational research than are available at each of our individual institutions.”

The Center builds on long-standing relationships between Howard and Georgetown, and incorporates respective strengths of both institutions, Mellman says.
