Clinical Partnerships at ASU
Clinical Partnerships Drive Research, Healthcare 
At ASU, clinical partnerships—which tie together researchers, healthcare practitioners and the community—lie at the intersection of social embeddedness and use-inspired research. In biomedical research, ASU does not rely on a medical school for the crosstalk needed to trigger health-related innovations. Rather, ASU has created a network with its clinical partners —area hospitals and healthcare organizations—to provide inspiration, test innovations and real-world training for its students, and to bring research back to the community in which it exists.
Building Partnerships in Research and Education
The Office of Clinical Partnerships serves as a link between Arizona State University and the Biodesign Institute to various industrial and clinical partners in the community. It was created to help ASU researchers strengthen and expand connections to biomedical institutions in Arizona.
The Office of Clinical Partnerships assists in the development of collaborations with clinical institutions through:
- development of institutional agreements or memorandum of understanding,
- establishment of seed grant funds,
- joint faculty appointments,
- shared graduate students and
- shared educational programs.
