Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University

The Berkman Klein Center's mission is to explore and understand cyberspace; to study its development, dynamics, norms, and standards; and to assess the need or lack thereof for laws and sanctions. We are a research center, premised on the observation that what we seek to learn is not already recorded. Our method is to build out into cyberspace, record data as we go, self-study, and share. Our mode is entrepreneurial nonprofit.

Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging (RIA)

As a charitable, non-profit foundation, the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging (RIA) enhances the quality of life and care of older adults through partnerships in research, education and practice. RIA has core partnerships with Schlegel Villages, University of Waterloo and Conestoga College, but collaborates with a number of other organizations and academic institutions. Through these collaborations, RIA supports practice-relevant research and mobilizes research evidence so it can inform programs, be integrated into education and training, and influence practice and policy. What is learned is then shared to benefit older adults everywhere.

Columbia University, Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research

The mission of Columbia University Medical Center’s Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) is to transform the culture of research to accelerate the discovery and implementation of new treatments and prevention strategies of human health. Our core objective is to move the CUMC research communit to a more multi- and interdisciplinary scientific mindset by removing barriers and creating incentives for interactions among investigators from different disciplines. Irving Institute faculty include some of CUMC's most accomplished, senior researchers who provide leadership and serve as mentors for junior faculty, fellows, and trainees. We provide infrastructure support for clinical and translational research across the CUMC campus through numerous components, including groups with expertise in biomedical informatics, study design and statistical analyses, bioethics, regulatory issues, and community-based research. Comprising the former GCRC at CUMC in addition to providing a fully-staffed Clinical Research Resource, the Irving Institute also includes a multifaceted educational program with masters- and doctoral-level training programs and mentored research programs. The Irving Institute funds several pilot award programs aimed at helping junior faculty launch research careers, in addition to supporting several cores that help facilitate clinical and translational research at CUMC.
