Family Medicine Research Hub

Sylvia Becker-Dreps in Nicaragua, where she conducts international research on the Zika virus.

Piloted in the summer of 2018, the UNC Family Medicine Research Hub puts researchers in touch with resources to meet their programming, grant writing, and statistical support needs. The Hub also works with Health Sciences librarian Sarah Wright, MSL. The Hub aims to encourage more collaboration and research engagement from experienced researchers, early career researchers, and clinicians alike.  If you are a UNC Family Medicine faculty or resident and you have a project in need of additional resources, reach out to Kelli Hammond and Katrina Donahue with more information about your project, and put “research hub” in the subject of your email.
