- Have an active and central role in the development, refinement and implementation of CBC funded awards focused on translational research including:
- The development and refinement of proposals from university faculty,
- The collection and assessment of data supporting the unmet medical need and commercial opportunity of the proposed therapeutic or diagnostic,
- The development of work plan which advances the science toward pre-clinical proof-of-concept while assessing and addressing drug discovery/development risks.
