The Long Island Network for Clinical and Translational Science (LINCATS), established in 2018, is a collaboration between Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and the Northport VA Medical Center.
We aim to create templates to dramatically improve clinical and translational healthcare through novel communication strategies. Our vision of "Community of Care through Communication" will permeate the Long Island region, and our advances will be extended to collaborators across the nation.
Translational science is the field that generates scientific and operational innovations that overcome longstanding challenges along the translational research pipeline. These include scientific, operational, financial and administrative innovations that transform the way that research is done, making it faster, more efficient, and more impactful.

Our Aims
Aim 1. Facilitate integration of LINCATS into the national Clinical and Translational Science Award program through NCATS, improve efficiencies for study launches and execution, and optimize the established LINCATS governing structure to ensure nimbleness, continuity, and consistency in support of Clinical and Translational Science innovation.
Aim 2. Build a diverse, Clinical and Translational Science-capable clinical research workforce on Long Island.
Aim 3. Build infrastructure to codify our strong community relationships into permanent collaborations through expansion of the established Community Engagement Network for Translational Science (CENTS).
Aim 4. Accelerate Clinical and Translational Science.
Aim 5. Continue to provide Pilot Program research awards to a diverse and representative population of researchers across LINCATS institutions.
Aim 6. Enable incorporation of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning tools in Clinical and Translational Science-principled research.
Aim 7. Implement a research program to support innovation in Clinical and Translational Science and facilitate implementation science.
