Office of Research

Many research activities within Rutgers Health are coordinated by the individual schools. Much of the focused research is conducted at specific centers and institutes that work with the organization and other schools, at Rutgers and beyond.

The Office of Research serves as a hub for this research enterprise, responsible for facilitating the complex operations and initiatives across the schools, centers, and institutes of Rutgers Health. The office convenes the Council of Research Deans, chaired by the Vice Chancellor for Research and Research Training, and interfaces with the Rutgers Office for Research on cross-campus activities.
