OverviewThe Albert Einstein College of Medicine is one of the nation’s premier institutions for medical education, basic research and clinical investigations. In September 2015, Montefiore Health System assumed full operational control of Einstein. Together, Einstein-Montefiore advances clinical and translational research to accelerate the pace at which new discoveries become the treatments and therapies that benefit patients. Combining nationally recognized clinical excellence with a population health perspective that focuses on the comprehensive needs of the communities it serves, Einstein-Montefiore delivers coordinated, compassionate, science-driven care where, when and how patients need it most. Montefiore Health System is comprised of more than 2,400 providers and spans 11 hospitals, including the Children's Hospital at Montefiore, Burke Rehabilitation Hospital and more than 200 outpatient ambulatory care sites. The health system derives its inspiration for excellence from its patients and community and continues to be on the front lines of developing innovative approaches to care. Show While education is at the heart of Einstein’s mission, it is biomedical research that drives the College of Medicine’s growth. Einstein’s relationship with Montefiore supports a long-standing focus on bench-to-bedside research, through which discoveries in Einstein’s laboratories lead to therapies and treatments for patients on an accelerated timetable. Long a national leader in biomedical research support from the federal government, Albert Einstein College of Medicine secured $197.3 million from the National Institutes of Health in federal fiscal year 2020 — the largest annual total in Einstein’s history. Factoring in the grants to Montefiore Health System, Einstein’s University Hospital and academic medical center and additional contracts, the total tips $223.6 million, reflecting a notable expansion of Einstein-Montefiore’s research enterprise. This includes the funding for Einstein major research centers in aging, intellectual development disorders, diabetes, cancer, clinical and translational research, liver disease and AIDS. Other areas of focus include developmental brain research, neuroscience, cardiac disease and initiatives to reduce and eliminate ethnic and racial health disparities. Einstein also was the only New York City institution selected to participate in the federal government’s landmark Women’s Health Initiative, and it is currently one of just four sites nationwide taking part in a large-scale study of the health status of the Hispanic/Latino community in the Bronx, supported by the NIH. The following are NIH Designated Centers:
The Einstein-Montefiore collaboration includes four jointly run Centers of Excellence and is further strengthened by the dual appointments of faculty and physicians across both institutions, enhancing synergies in research, teaching and patient care. The Montefiore-Einstein Centers of Excellence are:

Other InformationFounded on the partnership between Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, the ICTR has helped cement collaboration in clinical and translation research since 2007. The ICTR is a member of the nationwide Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) consortium, funded by the NIH. The CTSA is designed to break down barriers that inhibit cross-disciplinary, bidirectional research from the laboratory to the clinic and back again. The mission of the Einstein-Montefiore ICTR is to
