Jefferson Committee on Research

The Jefferson Committee on Research (JCOR) is advisory to the Office of the Provost on initiatives aimed at supporting and improving the research mission of all Colleges at Jefferson. Committee members represent:

• Sidney Kimmel Medical College
• College of Architecture & Built Environment
• College of Health Professions
• College of Life Sciences
• College of Nursing
• College of Pharmacy
• College of Population Health
• College of Rehabilitation Sciences
• College of Humanities & Sciences
• Institute of Emerging Emerging Health Professions 
• Kanbar College of Design Engineering & Commerce

Many of JCOR’s initiatives are focused on enhancing the competitiveness of grant submissions from our faculty and include a Grant Mentoring Program, which provides a comprehensive internal peer grant review, and Science Editing Services. A Subcommittee on Special Awards manages internal competitions for Limited Funding Opportunities together with the Office of Institutional Advancement. The Subcommittee on Communications created and oversees the Jefferson Research Website and the Faculty Webpage initiatives. JCOR’s most exciting new initiative is JeffSolves, which was developed to bring together faculty members from across the Jefferson community in crowdsourcing events aimed to generate innovative approaches for diseases that lack effective treatments and could benefit from new therapies developed at Jefferson.
