CEHHS values high-quality, high-impact scholarship. To encourage this type of scholarship, faculty and staff in CEHHS have access to two types of support: Research Development and Pre-Award.

Research Development

Support in research development focuses on providing resources for scholarship and opportunities for professional development. Resources that are provided for scholarship include the 3-year start-up package provided to tenure-track faculty at hire and pilot seed funding. Professional development opportunities are provided in group sessions, individual consulting sessions, and by supporting the CEHHS Graduate Student Research Colloquium and EUReCA (undergraduate student research showcase). The research development team is also able to review external funding application materials ahead of submission.
