KUMC research faculty
Research efforts at KU are organized through major multidisciplinary research centers on the Lawrence and Medical Center campuses. These major centers reflect KU strengths and provide the resources necessary to build on these strengths. Many additional research centers, institutes, and other non-academic units reflect the breadth of its research enterprise.

KU has a long and successful record of coordinating researchers and resources through integrated research centers and institutes.
