Faculty Research Spotlight
An important department goal is to generate new knowledge that could inform meaningful solutions to societal challenges. In this regard, the past year was another outstanding one for our faculty and research scientists as they secured new or continuing multiyear funding to support a range of research and related scholarly activity. Areas of support include: clinical science and mental health, equity in research, biological and cognitive systems, computational and high-dimensional data systems, and professional development for next generation scientists.
