With so many motivated student and faculty researchers at UW-Eau Claire, a committee was assembled to review and prioritize project proposals for collaboration with Mayo Clinic Health System researchers. The Research Innovation Council has six individuals equally representing UWEC and Mayo Clinic Health System personnel. This group evaluates all research proposals, oversees the funding provided by the research agreement, aids in fostering collaborations between UWEC faculty and Mayo Clinic Health System physicians and mentors project applicants through the proposal process.
The work done by the Research Innovation Council ensures these projects will be successful and remains focused on making advances in patient care.
