Leadership Team
The Office for Research supports and promotes basic, clinical, and translational investigation in the School of Medicine and facilitates research synergies across UVA. The office works closely with the Office of Grants and Contracts, which helps faculty and administrators apply for and manage sponsored awards in support of the research and other scholarly activities of our investigator community.
