Office of Research
The Office of Research supports the advancement of health research and innovation across biomedical, clinical, population, and health services domains. We support and catalyze research that addresses the most pressing health challenges of our time, locally and globally, through strategic leadership, inclusive collaboration, and operational excellence. The Office connects FoMD faculty, learners, and partners with the infrastructure, funding, and programs needed to pursue impactful, interdisciplinary research. We foster a culture of curiosity, equity, and innovation, while driving the development of precision health, Indigenous health, ethical artificial intelligence, and other key areas of strength.
