Biomedical Research Faculty Recruitment and Development (BRFR&D)

TSU requires additional faculty to strengthen the existing research environment and to stimulate sustained and competitive research. The purpose of this project is to build on the success of the previous BRFR by recruiting new established faculty to support an emerging MS and PhD degree program in biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. This activity is designed to improve the research infrastructure by increasing the number and quality of biomedical research faculty investigating health issues that disproportionately affect disadvantaged populations. The BRFR&D is consistent with the institution's renewed interest and commitment to increasing both the level of research activity and the number of faculty members engaged in biomedical and behavioral research.
