Research at Jefferson strives to seamlessly integrate basic scholarship and discovery with translation and application of new knowledge, in disciplines ranging from immunology to design of functional fabrics. In our robust research culture, faculty, students, clinicians and technical staff collaborate in mutually reinforcing efforts to uncover and mine practical impact from new knowledge.

Every year the Jefferson Committee on Research (JCOR) grants awards and funding to researchers. The Provost’s Pilot Clinical Research Award is to foster collaborative research and team science, and to develop clinical research topics that have been minimally explored at Jefferson. The Deans' Transformational Science Award (DTSA) is designed to enhance the success of Jefferson’s research-intensive faculty and to nurture the development of HIGH-IMPACT SCIENCE.
