Research Projects
Between 2014 and 2024, CAIRHE supported multiple research projects each year through its Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health. Descriptions of those completed projects can be found under Other CAIRHE Investigators. Other research may be sponsored by HOPE & CAIRHE 2gether (HC2), CAIRHE's affiliated center co-led by the Center for HOPE at the Huntsman Cancer Institute of the University of Utah. And some of our faculty have achieved independent investigator status through major external grant funding, from NIH and other agencies, for projects that have emerged from previous CAIRHE support. They now lead these studies as principal investigators affiliated with CAIRHE. For more about each project, click on the links below.
