Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the research website of the University of South Florida Health: one of only 95 public and private universities in the U.S. that have been designated as Carnegie Comprehensive Doctoral Research University/Very High Research Activity. This designation is a reflection of the hard work of our faculty, staff, and students and underscores President Judy Genshaft's and VP/Dean Steve Klasko's long-standing unmitigated commitment to excellence and to continue to further enhance the national ranking of this University. Timely accomplishment of this goal dictates not only the articulation of a cogent and attainable strategic plan but an insatiable quest for the acquisition and propagation of new knowledge that can only be accomplished by engaging in outstanding research and scholarship and its indelible integration in the core missions of this institution.
Research Matters at USF Health© and this commitment defines and differentiates this institution from other public and private universities in the State. With over $290 million/year of extramurally funded research, USF and USF Health are poised to play a defining role in the rapidly changing landscape of regional, national, and global knowledge-based economies. We have fully embraced the concept of an "Entrepreneurial Academic Model" and faculty, staff, and students in our Colleges of Medicine, Nursing and Public Health, and in our Schools of Basic Biomedical Sciences and Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences, working in consort with other colleges/schools at USF and with our affiliate partners, are redefining the role USF Health will play in this region.
I thank you for your interest in visiting USF Health research website and encourage you to visit us again for more updated information and/or contact my office if you need any additional information/clarification.
Sincerely,
Abdul S. Rao, M.D., M.A., D.Phil
