The Institute for Integration of Medicine and Science’s (IIMS) mission is to integrate clinical and translational research and career development across all University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio schools and among our diverse public and private partners in South Texas.

Transforming Knowledge into Improved Healthcare

A Partnership to Improve Health

The Institute for Integration of Medicine and Science’s (IIMS) mission is to integrate clinical and translational research and career development across all University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio schools and among our diverse public and private partners in South Texas. Clinical research studies are conducted with the participation and collaboration of human volunteers. Translational research studies move basic science discovery to patient-based applications and then out into clinical practice with the ultimate goal of human health improvement. Simply put, the IIMS will reduce barriers to research and stimulate the transformation of knowledge into improved health care.


Join the Office for Research and Innovation and the Institute for Integration of Medicine & Science (IIMS) program administrators as we discuss the application and award requirements for the 2027 Pilot and Collaborative Translational and Clinical Studies (PCTCS) award programs. This session will double as a program overview and networking event for faculty interested in forming teams and applying to the open funding opportunities.
