The mission of Research Services is to provide faculty and students with leadership, guidance and coordination of:
- Pre-award activities for grant and contract proposals;
- Development and submission of human subjects, animal welfare, and environmental health and safety review materials;
- Approval of culminating experience, thesis and dissertation proposals (prior to beginning the research) for human subjects risks, compliance with HIPAA guidelines, scientific merit and relevant School of Public Health and University of Texas Health Science Center policies.
Research Services provides an umbrella of pre-award support for the Division faculty through staff located within each Division. Regional Campus faculty receive pre-award support directly through the office. All students of the School of Public Health submit their culminating experience, thesis or dissertation proposal to Research Services after their academic committee has approved and signed it for review and approval by the Associate Dean for Research.
