...Community Engagement Consultation Service; Integrating Special Populations; Clinical Research Data Warehouse, BERD; or the recent CTSI/MSOE Deep Learning Initiative, etc.). Integrated Clinical and Research Ensemble Clusters In general, Ensemble RFAs are open to the formation of Pre-Ensembles addressing any unmet patient medical need. However, in September 2021, the Ensemble Function integrated with the Department of Medicine’s Cardiovascular Academic Initiative to release an RFA for “Focused Ensembles” to stimulate the formation of Pre-Ensembles around cardiology-focused unmet patient medical needs. The approved Ensembles from this RFA are collectively known as an Integrated Clinical and Research Cluster. As shown in the figure, an...
