UTHealth Houston encourages the development of collaborative relationships among faculty around research and academic mission-related interests. To support these collaborations, UTHealth Houston enables academic departments, schools, and the university to establish research service centers (RSCs), shared research resources, and other collaborative research facilities and services that advance specific research and academic missions. These resources may include fee-for-service capabilities as well as shared, collaborative infrastructure and centers that provide broader support for faculty research programs. Together, these resources support UTHealth Houston’s growing research enterprise.
To explore trends in research activity, funding, and proposal development across the university, visit the UTHealth Houston Blue Ridge Research Performance Dashboard and the UTHealth Houston Internal Awards and Proposals Dashboard.
To learn more about the policies governing the development and administration of RSCs and related shared research resources, see Development and Administration of Research Service Centers.
