InCHIP GROWS RESEARCH FROM THE GROUND UP

InCHIP Services Support Research

InCHIP has a twenty-year history of supporting research in the behavioral and social health sciences at UConn. We offer a variety of programs, services, and resources to UConn health researchers free of charge.  InCHIP support falls into three interconnected areas - Research Training and Development, Team Science and Collaboration, and Grants Management.

Are you new to InCHIP or not sure where to start? We would love to learn more about your research and discuss your needs - schedule a meeting with our Director of Research Training & Development.

Partnerships brokered by InCHIP span UConn departments, colleges, and campuses and represent the best of what team science has to offer – a problem-focused, solution driven perspective that allows new ideas to form at the edges of interdisciplinary fields and advances the science base through high-impact research discoveries. InCHIP can help researchers connect with other UConn-based researchers and clinicians. Listed below are a few of the programs available. To learn more about the services available click here.
