The Department of Cell Biology and Physiology and Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation were the basic science and clinical departments with the most participation in new database.
The School of Medicine Office of Research created a faculty collaboration database where faculty can search research interests and affiliations to find new collaborators.
To encourage faculty to participate, the Office of Research offered to provide $300 awards to the departments with the highest percentage of faculty in the database. One award is for a clinical department and another for a basic science department to provide refreshment for a faculty meeting.
The Department of Cell Biology and Physiology and the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation won the competition.
Faculty submissions are still welcome. The faculty collaboration database can be found online, and all faculty can be included in the database, including clinical faculty and colleagues at Novant Health.
Additional questions can be sent to Trisha Dant.
