The Surgery department is proud to place emphasis on our growing basic and clinical research activities. Departmental resources have been expended to create a Research Administration Office, renovate laboratories, and to provide assistance to faculty investigators with securing funding and conducting sponsored projects. Many new programs have been created to assist our researchers:
- Additional research coordinators are being recruited for each division.
- The department is initiating professional development courses, to include classes on grant writing, contract negotiation, and marketing.
- A biostatistician and a medical editor are now available for consultation.
- Surgery faculty peer review of proposals is available through the Research Committee.
- Basic and animal laboratories are being renovated with state-of-the-art equipment.
- Both grant incentive and publication incentive programs have been formulated to reward those investigators who are most actively conducting research projects, as indicated by successful applications and publications.
