Faculty & Staff

The Research Resources (R2) Office supports Mailman School researchers in the development and preparation of grant applications. The office helps researchers identify appropriate funding opportunities, develop project ideas, organize, edit and prepare grant applications, and arranges for internal review and feedback on applications prior to submission. R2 also provides training in grantsmanship, research management, and professional development-related issues.

In January 2012, leadership of the Research Resources Office was taken over by Dr. Jennifer P. Wisdom, Assistant Dean for Research Resources and Associate Professor of Health Policy and Management.

This website section provides access to grant-related resources that include:

• Templates

Users can also find information on training programs, information sessions, and one-on-one services offered by the R2 Office.

Trainings and Information Sessions

The R2 Office sponsors periodic training, information sessions and workshops on research, as well as on professional development-related topics. These sessions are generally small and informal. Training topics include grant-preparation, management, and other professional development-related issues. In addition, the office hosts “Meet the Methodologist,” a series in which researchers present and discuss cutting-edge methodologies and the public health application of these new methodologies.

Targeted Funding Searches

The R2 Office performs targeted funding searches for Mailman School researchers based on their individual area(s) of interest. Please contact us to receive targeted funding announcements via email.
