Council of Research Deans

The Council of Research Deans, comprised of research leadership from all eight Rutgers Health schools and several major institutes, meets regularly with the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Research Training to address evolving research administration topics and develop processes and strategies for ensuring continued biomedical research distinction and growth. This cohesive and synergistic organizational matrix, with both centralized and local research oversight, enables sharing of information and a supportive research infrastructure across Rutgers Health units.
