Strategic Plan Theme: Research

Support and create expert-led technology centers (instrumentation and people) to lower access barriers to methodological innovations and to accelerate groundbreaking research.

Build and grow collaborative teams to work on cross-cutting challenges that bridge the gap from atoms to organisms and populations.

Build teams to integrate discovery, translational pharmacology and regulatory science to develop new therapeutic agents and modalities.

Establish drug-focused research as a pillar of the campus precision medicine initiative

Create and support collaborations that assess the clinical effectiveness, preferences, cost-effectiveness, budget impact, and health equity impact of health technologies to inform appropriate and efficient use to achieve optimal health outcomes.

Create and support collaborations that assess health policies, access to health technologies, quality of care, cost, the relationship between quality and cost, and the impact on health outcomes.

Create a collaborative educational research hub that provides funding, support, and faculty and trainee development for conducting and disseminating educational research.

Apply theory, analysis, and experimentation to solve challenges in health professions education.

Create an environment that supports entrepreneurship and other efforts to derive societal benefit from our research discoveries, utilizing resources with SOP and QBI, advocating for beneficial changes at the university and systemwide levels, and developing new external partnerships with a resulting financial benefit to SOP, departments, laboratories and inventors.

Strengthen existing partnerships and programs (such as with venture capital, philanthropy) for funding and connections to resources (such as technology centers, incubators) to facilitate product development.
