Implementation of the Faculty Achievement Award in Research Program
To achieve the goals of Southern @ 150, the School of Medicine must substantially expand its research productivity. Growth in non-state revenue can support the hiring and retention of additional qualified research faculty, as well as space, equipment, and protected time for research for new and current faculty.
To promote achievement of the goals of Southern @ 150 and to address these related issues, SIUSOM has developed the Faculty Achievement Award in Research (FAAR) program. About the FAAR Program

Conflict of Interest Information
SIU School of Medicine encourages its employees to participate in sponsored research, to consult widely, and to engage in other activities that may benefit not only the participants but also the medical school and the public. However, while the medical school recognizes the benefits of such activities, it is also committed to ensuring that they are done properly. To this end, the medical school has established policies governing possible conflicts of interest and commitment. Information is available on the COI page: https://coi.siumed.edu
