Your personalized Matchmaker report created by the CTSI is broken in to two sections: a funding climate report at the top and then a ranked listing of the top six research projects that most closely match the supplied text at the bottom. This information can be used to forge new research collaborations; recruit new faculty members; identify mentors for junior faculty members and students; and help faculty better understand the types of research projects that are already underway.
