Research Support
We are dedicated to supporting faculty research endeavors, especially young faculty and faculty new to our research foci.
We will support your research through assistance with:
- Identifying collaborations
- Finding funding opportunities
- Preclinical and large animal study support
- Assistance with experimental design and study conduct
- Clinical trials experimental design and study coordination
Grant Resources
We have created a compiled grant resources that can be used by our Center members. These include:
- Facilities and Equipment templates with writeups for commonly used Departments, Institutes, and Centers
- NIH Human subjects document guides and boilerplate documents
- Outlines for all of the major K-award documents

If you would like to have access to any of these resources, please contact Amanda Hayward ([email protected]).
University of Minnesota Resources
Free Biostatistics Consulting
Consulting sessions will be with a Division of Biostatistics faculty member and up to three biostatistics graduate students. Consultation topics include study design, sample size/power calculations, statistical analysis and interpretation, and statistical sections of grants/manuscripts. See biostatistical consulting for more information or email Megan Schlick for an appointment at [email protected].
Protocol Writing Program
The Medical School Research Office is offering a Protocol Writing Program focused on human subjects research protocols. This online course will teach participants about the IRB Protocol Writing process, how to navigate services at the University of Minnesota, and how to make sure that your IRB protocol pairs well with the scientific aims of your research project. This course is open to all members of the research community.
Center for Learning Health System Sciences (CLHSS)
CLHSS helps researchers and practitioners rapidly develop, implement, and evaluate their ideas for healthcare delivery innovation. The Center provides support for researchers in a diverse array of topics, including data science, implementation science, informatics, and engaging with patients, families, and communities.
Health Science Libraries Resources
Librarians at the Health Science Library can provide a wide variety of support, including consultations on research topics and search strategies, citation management health and trainings, and navigating open access.
Specific resources that we want to highlight:
- Free one-on-one consultations, which provide personalized, project-specific support for literature search strategies and research question refinement.
- Health Sciences Research Toolkit with useful resources on effective literature search strategies, guidance on how to structure a research paper, and how to evaluate journal articles and web resources.
