The Department has a very successful track record in biomedical research. We currently rank 14th nationally in research funding from the NIH. Faculty members within the Department of Medicine currently are the principal investigators on more than $60 million of research funding. Department of Medicine faculty are also the lead investigators on an additional $14.5 million of inter-disciplinary center funding. Collectively, grants obtained by the Department of Medicine faculty account for 25-30% of all School of Medicine research funding.
Each Division has a diverse and vibrant externally funded research program and fellowship training program. Our Department has active research programs for not only our faculty but also for our fellows, housestaff and medical students. The Department also has an innovative program in Clinical Sciences leading to a mini-certificate, Masters, or PhD degree. In addition, we have 33 endowed Chairs, the endowed Temple Hoyne Buell Heart Center, and a federally-designated Cancer Center enabling us to pursue new understanding and treatment of diseases that are afflicting millions of Americans.
