Office of Research and Graduate Studies
The Office of Research and Graduate Studies supports the School of Pharmacy mission — to educate, innovate, discover, engage and serve to improve health. Our office is organized to provide support for pre-award grant work, including to find new sources of funding, review budgets, and review research proposals before submission to the university research office. We support our graduate students by ensuring that tuition, fees, and other items receive the appropriate waivers, and that, working with finance, Human Resources, and the International Student Affairs Office, students can smoothly be onboarded to the university and the Division of Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Sciences (DPPS). We also work with the School of Graduate Studies to track student progression and ensure good relationships between students and faculty.
