The mission of the Cooper Research Institute is to help foster research within the Cooper Health System by providing the faculty, residents, fellows, nurses, and allied health professionals of Cooper with the support and services required to promote and to successfully develop and conduct investigator-initiated and sponsor-initiated clinical research, and to attract and manage government, foundation, and industry support.
The Cooper Research Institute works in cooperation with Cooper Medical School of Rowan University to foster the growth of student-centric research in the areas of medical education, the science of healthcare delivery and population health, and targeted translational research, capitalizing on the institutional strengths and expertise of both organizations.
Additionally, our research has recently made regional news with the announcement that Rowan University will invest $50 million in research in Camden over a 10-year period, and a large grant from the State of NJ will support collaborative research by CMSRU, Coriell, and Cooper to investigate the genetics of opioid addiction. We are grateful for this tremendous gift from Rowan University and for state support of research endeavors.
Excellence in education, patient care, and research are linked and crucial aspects of the mission of medical schools and academic medical centers. We invite you to explore the following links for a better picture of the depth of educational activities supported by, and scholarly activity generated by, the Cooper University Health Care and Cooper Medical School of Rowan University learning community.
