Guttmacher and Columbia University have had a memorandum of understanding since 2005 to share ideas and staff. Guttmacher staff have adjunct faculty appointments at Columbia, and John Santelli of Columbia serves as a Senior Fellow at Guttmacher. More recently, Lawrence Finer [SR1] was named as core faculty in a Columbia training grant proposal to NIH that would formalize an arrangement where Columbia fellows are integrated into Guttmacher projects and receive further training. Guttmacher and Columbia are also exploring the possibility of developing a joint research proposal.
