The Research Database project involves a virtual database which is used to support administative research at the School of Medicine. Questions are submitted to the database by school administration. Faculty wishing to use the database for research purposes must have questions approved and submitted by a member of the School's administration. There is a formal process for research database projects.

Some examples of the types of questions that may be submitted for research:

• Predictors of academic performance in medical school.
• Can academic performance can predict clinical skills?
• Does research participation in medical school predict reseach activities in residency?
