Making the World Smarter, Safer and Healthier

Enhancing Faculty Research in STEM and Health

The research can be theoretical, empirical, applied or clinical. This initiative is intended to stimulate new research and expand existing research projects that result in scholarly publication, conference presentations and grant applications while simultaneously creating research opportunities for full-time Katz graduate students.
