Weill Cornell Medical College is becoming a pioneer in a new way of thought in medicine. The National Institute of Health under the Clinical and Translational Science Award has given a $49 million grant to WCMC, the largest federal grant the school has ever received. With the grant, WCMC has been given the task of setting up a CTS center in New York City, in partnership with other colleges and institutions. The ultimate goal is to expedite the transfer of medical research into strong benefits for the public.
