Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute
The term “Translational Research" can have different meanings for various individuals and groups. At MSU-CTSI we attempt to engage the entire scope of translational research, as this is a natural extension of the land-grant mission of MSU. CTSI assists with the development, implementation, management, and completion of clinical health research (i.e., investigator-initiated research, clinical trials etc.) conducted at MSU and through its community partner network; expedites the research administration process and facilitates research compliance.

Diversity Research Network - Office for Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives
The Diversity Research Network (DRN) connects faculty of color and scholars interested in diversity research, to create scholarly communities, facilitate new interdisciplinary collaborations, and advance the growth and visibility of research by underrepresented faculty as well as research on diversity across MSU. The DRN emphasizes MSU’s value of diversity as excellence across all disciplines, and promotes this value through the support and resources it offers. The DRN is a support vehicle for enhancing research productivity, mentoring, and training emphasizing the unique research contexts of faculty of color and diversity scholars, grant and publication output, and meaningful collaborative research opportunities.
