Virtual Home Program (VH)

Overview

We envision and implement a virtual ‘home’ for clinical and translational researchers at UCSF, providing tools, resources and a rich environment to facilitate collaborative and innovative research.

With the size of UCSF's research community, volume of research and geographical distribution of the brick-and-mortar ‘spaces’ for research, a Virtual Home is needed to support core elements of CTSI's mission. In addition, through innovation in communications & technology, we enable the implementation of CTSI's goals to transform the activities at UCSF that link bench to bedside to community.

Strategic Goals

1. Enhance opportunities for collaborative clinical and translational investigation at UCSF through communication, information services and technology-enhanced collaboration tools.
2. Provide a cohesive and engaging face of CTSI to CTSI leaders and administrators, the national health science research community and the public.

What We Do

1. Design, implement and manage the continuing growth of a web portal for all clinical & translational researchers at UCSF.
2. Design and deliver navigation services to lower administrative and other burdens for researchers at UCSF.
3. Envision and implement knowledge management solutions for researchers (e.g. expertise and matchmaking systems).
4. Identify, assess and implement technology products for CTSI-provided services (such as consultations & training).
5. Develop communications strategy. Design and deliver communications products to promote opportunities and resources to UCSF researchers and the national community.
6. Integrate UCSF's collaboration tools and systems with relevant national standards and systems.
