We understand that regional campuses have not always been known for robust research opportunities — but that’s changing. At IU School of Medicine, we are actively working to build a stronger research culture, create meaningful opportunities for students and faculty, and connect our community to the broader world of medical discovery.

Whether you're a student looking to get involved in a project, a faculty member with a research idea or simply curious about what's possible, we want to be able to connect and grow research at IU. Below, you'll find a list of contacts who can help you explore current opportunities and guide you toward getting involved in research right here at our regional campus.

To inquire about research at a specific campus, please send an email to all the listed contacts for that particular campus.
