University receives prestigious grant for research
By ANDREW HIYAMA
Summer Daily News Editor
The University of Michigan
announced Wednesday it was
awarded a $58 million grant
from the National Institute of
Health to fund medical research
— the largest grant of its kind the
University has received.
The grant, provided by the NIH’s
National Center for Advancing
Translational Sciences through
its
Clinical
and
Translational
Sciences Awards program, will
go directly to the University’s
Michigan Institute for Clinical
Health and Research.
MICHR
Director
George
Mashour said compared to other
grants received by the University
this one is “several orders of
magnitude higher.”
Translational science is the
process of taking the results
of
laboratory
work,
known
as
foundational
science,
and
transferring its information to a
useful application, like fighting
a disease. In addition to other
services, the MICHR facilitates and
provides training for this clinical
research. Mashour emphasized
just how essential this grant and
the grant-awarding process in
general are to the MICHR’s work.
“This NIH grant really forms
the basis of our institute’s work,”
he said. “If we didn’t have it,
it would be extremely difficult
and extremely expensive for the
institution to help support all
the services that we offer. Unlike
other institutes, we’re not doing
the research itself. We don’t have
a specific disease in mind, like the
Cancer Center or the Depression
Center. We’re really here to be the
tide that helps all boats rise.”
Engineering
junior
Natalie
Baxter, who is an undergraduate
research
in
the
Shea
Lab
investigating
cancer
initiation,
agreed, saying smaller divisions
like hers appreciated the grant
money.
“Working in a lab has given
me insight to how much time and
money goes into each project,”
she said. “The research team in
my lab is working really hard to
find breakthroughs in research on
several medical challenges. A lot of
obstacles need to be overcome just
to turn an idea into an experiment
and eventually a clinical trial,
so it’s reassuring to see that big
organizations
are
willing
to
invest so much in research at the
University of Michigan.”
In a press release from the
University,
Vicki
Ellingrod,
associate director of MICHR,
leader of its education team
and associate dean for research
and education in the College of
Pharmacy, said in addition to
aiding the many programs and
studies the MICHR services, the
grant would help the MICHR
expand its own programs.
“The new grant will allow
us to expand some of our most
successful training programs in
translational research and develop
new ones,” she said. “Perhaps
what is most exciting about our
new grant is that we will now be
able to work more directly with
patients,
research
participants
and groups within the community,
and learn how to guide research
in collaboration with our MICHR
scholars.”
The University is one of over 50
institutes funded by the NIH to
promote translational science and
research. According to Mashour,
the grant will allow the University
to connect more effectively with
other such institutions.
“Traditionally, these institutes
are
really
focused
more
on
their institution, they’re doing
great work, they’re doing some
collaboration together, but they
weren’t really functioning as a
full network,” he said. “And where
we’re moving now, in this exciting
phase at the national level, is
really to try to link up all of these
institutes and come to common
agreements,
related
to,
say,
regulatory affairs or approaches
to conducting clinical research,
and try to leverage the whole
nation.”
In addition to the medical
researchers and patients who
will feel the positive effects of
the grant, so will students like
LSA
senior
Brennan
Munley,
who participates in research at
the University’s Comprehensive
Cancer Center.
“It definitely helps me out, in
the way that it’s gonna provide
clinical jobs, and ways to get
experience and just to get into
the
hospital,
and
get
some
experience,” he said. “It’ll help me
on my long-term path, whether
I go to med school or PA school
or pharmacy school, whatever I
decide to do, it’ll definitely help
me get in some experience.”
It’s reassuring
to see that big
organizations are
willing to invest so
much in research
