San Antonio Life Sciences Institute (SALSI)
In October of 2003 this new innovative funding opportunity was created in October 2003 by Presidents Cigarroa and Romo of UTHSCSA and UTSA, to increase both the UTHSCSA's and UTSAs research-funding base with cross campus collaborative programs. SALSI will encourage interaction between investigators in support of the acquisition of established extramural, peer-reviewed research funding — a combination of institutional and state funds over a two year period — and will involve supporting development of programmatic / thematic / translational group research efforts between the two campuses. Targeted areas include, but are not exclusive to: Bioengineering, Bioterrorism, Health Disparities and Neuroscience. Areas described in the NIH Roadmap to the Future.
