Collaborative Research

We strongly believe in collaboration since it enables us to pool together the expertise and resources of multiple entities to advance the science. We frequently collaborate with other leading universities and corporations that have unique technologies and have a passion for making a difference via research. For example, in the AutoSense project, we collaborated with medical researchers,biomedical scientists, behavioral scientists, and electrical engineers. In the AutoWitness and Barrier Coverage projects, we collaborated with leading mathematicians. In the MD2K Center of Excellence, we collaborated with 20+ national thought leaders in medicine, psychology, statistics, electrical engineering, and computing from 12 universities. At the mDOT Center, we currently have 20 collaborators leading four cores – TR&D1, TR&D2, TR&D3, and Training & Dissemination – as well as overseeing 8 Collaboration Projects (CPs) and 8 Service Projects (SPs).

We are always exploring opportunities for new collaboration from acorss the nation and across the world. If you believe we can pool together our resources to make a difference via sound research, we warmly welcome you to get in touch with us.
