The agreement gives the hospitals and CSU access to each other’s clinical trials, and hospital physicians are able to act as coinvestigators for sponsored research at the university. The initial areas targeted for research are cancer, cardiovascular disease, infectious disease, diabetes and metabolic disease, neuroscience, sports medicine and women’s health issues.
