USU Office of Research
The Office of Research reviews and monitors all matters dealing with research at the University. These functions include identification of potential funding sources; pre-award administration; post-award administration; grant award and receipt; administration of the Program for the Protection of Human Participants in Research (PPHPR), including Institutional Review Board (IRB) review and approval; and monitoring of compliance with all federal regulations regarding the conduct of research.
The research office staff members serve three communities: faculty and student investigators, the University, and the approximately 80 funding organizations that support university research. The roughly 500 active research protocols at USUHS cover a variety of scientific areas, including basic biomedical areas central to the mission of the Military Health System.
Research Facilities and Programs
Research at USU is administered through the Office of Research or by grant agreements with the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine or other non-profit foundations.
USU Research Program
The University's research program covers a range of clinical and other topics important to both the military and public health. Infectious diseases, trauma medicine, health maintenance, and cancer are areas of particular strength. Researchers are also making important new efforts in state-of-the-art fields that cut across disciplines, such as genomics, proteomics, and drug-delivery mechanisms.
