Auburn University Health Sciences Research Initiative
Faculty at Auburn University are extensively engaged in interdisciplinary health sciences research. The Auburn University Health Sciences Research Initiative is helping us harness and focus our capacity to grow our contributions to multiple areas of health that advance knowledge, benefit Alabama, and facilitate broader efforts in health sciences research and application.
The AUHSRI empowers faculty to engage in discovery, innovation, and outreach in the health sciences for the benefit of all segments of society. This interdisciplinary initiative engages faculty experts from all AU colleges and schools involved in research affecting physical, mental, and social health and well-being. The AUHSRI strengthens the sense of commitment to and facilitate communication with communities and stakeholders throughout the state and beyond, encourage the sharing of resources across campus, and advance the research enterprise related to health sciences through significant extramural sponsorship.
