Research

Collaboration fuels possibility and discovery.
Our core belief at the Norman Fixel Institute is that collaboration will fuel possibility and discovery. We believe that facilitating collaboration, especially on ‘out-of-the-box ideas,’ will fuels scientific discovery. We believe that high quality coordinated research will lead to real world impact.

We accomplish our research mission through:

· Offering research opportunities to every clinical patient
· Offering enrollment in a research database and opportunities to donate biologicals (blood, DNA, saliva, CSF)
· Providing dedicated 10 room clinical trials research center ‘on site’
· Providing space for clinical researchers who perform investigator initiated research rather than clinical trials testing
· Supporting websites and integration of 33 Fixel related laboratories
· Providing endowed professorships and chairs to support research.
· Providing pilot research grants
· Providing cash start-up dollars for research projects and junior investigators
