At $1.72 billion, the University of Michigan is the top public university in research spending in the United States. Our metrics show that over half a billion of that is awarded each year to the Medical School, supporting our many research strengths. Imagine what it would be like to conduct research at the laboratory bench, in the clinic, or with the community as part of our world-renowned Medical School, facilitated by the departments, centers, and institutes and our Office of Research. Students and trainees have the opportunity for mentorship from research faculty who are experts in their fields and can help you open doors to a lifetime of discovery.
