Office of Research supports faculty and staff investigators

The Office of Research supports faculty and staff investigators in the Department of Internal Medicine. The office also provides administrative support to the department and the Clinical and Translational Science Center especially in areas related to research.

In 2008, the National Institute of Health released the ranking of the Top 110 recipient institutions to include hospitals, institutes, medical schools, universities, etc. UNM's Department of Internal Medicine was listed as 50th in the nation as a recipient of extramural funding (not including R&D contracts awarded).

The DoIM's Office of Research assists investigators within the department in the search for potential funding. In order to successfully support investigators, the Office of Research provides:

• Project planning
• Budget preparation
• Compliance review of agency’s application requirements
• Guidance in electronic submission
• Obtaining departmental approvals for submission to the HSC Preaward Office, and
• Ensuring that research faculty is provided with the necessary laboratory space to conduct their research.

The DoIM Office of Research believes that contributing factors to success in research include a strong infrastructure, support for designated research effort in an academic environment, and financial support from the department. It is the intent of the Office of Research to support, guide, and educate faculty, so that they are prepared to successfully navigate through the process in order to facilitate ethical and sound scientific research.
