Since 2015, the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine has been awarded $13 Million in new research funding for life-changing research in population health, palliative medicine, chronic disease prevention and treatment, healthcare services, and screening. We've increased our number of funded projects by 600% and raised our publication rate from under 10 per year to over 85 in 2021.
Our research is collaborative and multi-disciplinary, involving our neighbors at Rollins School of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as collaborators across the U.S. and across the globe. Our department research faculty received over $6,000,000 in research funding in the fiscal year 2020, with funding sources ranging from PCORI, Georgia CTSA, HRSA, and NIH to foundational, state legislative, and institutional funding.
