Research funding at the University of Utah is on the rise with the latest news of new NIH life science funding awarded to researchers this year. The National Institutes of Health awarded the University of Utah $2.7 million for studies involving data coordinating at the Center for the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care. The departments receiving this latest research funding include Pediatrics and the School of Medicine. The funding organization within the National Institutes of Health is the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development.

Dr. J. Michael Dean is the leader for this project receiving the latest NIH life science funding. Dr. Dean is Professor and Vice Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at the University Of Utah School Of Medicine. His research interests include outcomes after pediatric critical and emergency care, and he currently serves as a research mentor for five physician scientists.
