  • A bimonthly research seminar gives scientists and faculty the opportunity to share their research and spark collaborative efforts with other department scientists.

Department Research Review Committee Administration

The Research Office has recently restructured the organization of the internal funding process in the Department. Department of Surgery grant applications are available from and submitted through this office. Applications are also available on the Forms page of the Surgery Intranet. The Research Office distributes these grant applications for review and organizes the review and approval process with the Research Review Committee.
