We strive for excellence in research by coordinating activities within the School of Medicine with those of the UC Irvine Office of Research to ensure our investigators operate in an arena where they have access to the latest technologies. We provide strong administrative support for our faculty members as they seek funding from federal agencies, industry, foundations and private philanthropy.

We also provide our investigators with key facilities to support their research and offer support for clinical trials through the Center for Clinical Research, Stern Center for Cancer Clinical Trials, and theĀ Alpha Stem Cell Clinic.

Research Support & Development

The Research Development Unit (RDU) designs and implements services and other resources to help investigators succeed in obtaining and maintaining extramural funding.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are a key component of the translational research that seeks to produce positive findings that directly benefit human health and translate them quickly and efficiently into practice in the community. Support for clinical trials is offered through a variety of sources at UC Irvine School of Medicine based on the type of trial being conducted.
