The global issues and challenges that research institutions are working to address are complex and occur at the intersection of disciplines. In order to make advancements in research there must be an integration and convergence of disciplines. The San Antonio Life Sciences Institute (SALSI) solicits applications for participation in the FY2019 Clusters in Research Excellence program. This program aims to develop strategic research clusters bridging The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and UT Health San Antonio over a 12 month period through capacity building and collaborative, interdisciplinary research. To this end, SALSI will establish and support two institutionally driven Clusters of Research Excellence in Healthcare Cybersecurity. Clusters will be expected to enhance collaboration, expand interdisciplinary research capacity, and significantly raise the international research profile and competitiveness of both institutions.
