Research Partnerships

CUPH’s mission is to conduct and facilitate original population health research and educational initiatives that improve the health of urban communities through collaboration with academic and community organizations.
- Many Biomedical Sciences & Health Care Administration faculty are research partners of the Clinical and Translational Science Institute. CTSI was founded in 2008 as a regional academic-community partnership between four area academic institutions (Medical College of Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee School of Engineering and Marquette University), three hospitals (Froedtert Hospital, Children’s Wisconsin and Zablocki VA Medical Center); and Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin. It aims to develop an integrated, shared home for clinical and translational research, education and training, hallmarked by a borderless, collaborative, synergistic and investigator/community/patient-friendly environment.
