Office of Research & Scholarship
Our researchers collaborate across disciplines to tackle some of today’s most challenging issues — from the nation’s opioid crisis to workplace violence — and improve the health of patients and populations.
The Office of Research & Scholarship (ORS) supports faculty, staff and students interested in clinical practice research, translational science and evidence-based practice.

Strategic Goals
We are working to significantly increase both the number of externally funded grants and associated research dollars. In support of the college’s strategic goal to advance research and innovation in healthcare, the Office of Research & Scholarship contributes through the following strategies:
- Cultivating signature areas of science that maximize faculty expertise and impact healthcare innovation.
- Promoting transdisciplinary research through integrating nursing in the Center for Clinical Translational Science and Training and university innovation efforts.
- Supporting faculty, staff, and student scholarship through coaching, mentoring, and professional development.
