Office of Research & Sponsored Programs

Research and scholarly activity are foundational to academic excellence in the biomedical, clinical, and educational sciences. The Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine actively fosters and promotes research across biomedical and clinical disciplines, Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, and medical education. Faculty-led research at Burrell is anchored in four core domains:

• Basic Biomedical Science
• Clinical Science
• Medical Education
• Population Health

The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) supports research initiatives by Burrell faculty and students at all Regional Academic Centers and at both the Florida and New Mexico campuses. The Burrell Research Laboratories, located at the New Mexico campus, provide dedicated facilities for BioScience, Human Physiology, and Computational Research. Faculty collaborations extend to New Mexico State University and a wide network of academic institutions and medical centers.

ORSP provides comprehensive pre-award and post-award support for grants and contracts, and oversees research compliance through its Human Research Protection Program (HRPP). HRPP ensures adherence to ethical and safety standards in areas including human subjects research, biological agents and recombinant/synthetic nucleic acids, chemical and laboratory safety, and the responsible conduct of research.
