We provide programs and services to support strategic research areas in which we are already an established leader, build capacity in new research areas, and provide opportunities for the JTLLSOM to continue as a leader in research from bench to bedside and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Faculty research resources and medical student research support services can be found by following the links to the right.\u00a0 Scholars@UTHealthSanAntonio is a searchable platform that uses publication data to allow UT Health faculty to be identified by research interest areas, research name, or institutional affiliation. <em>Research Connect <\/em>is a web-based platform that connects JTLLSOM faculty, residents, and medical students with research opportunities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221;
