Carle Illinois College of Medicine

Advancing human health begins with research. The Carle Illinois College of Medicine at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is the world’s first engineering-based medical school. We envision a future where, by leveraging engineering and advanced technology, doctors provide more humanistic care for patients. A future where excellent health care is available to everyone who needs it — no matter who they are or where they live.

The Carle Illinois College of Medicine is a partnership between Carle Health, an Urbana-based system of hospitals and physician groups, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, one of the country’s top public research universities.

Federal Statistical Research Data Center

One of 32 Federal Statistical Research Data Centers in the United States, the UIUC FSRDC is operated through the Department of Economics. The FSRDCs provide data from various government agencies that are normally hard to access, are operated in conjunction between the U.S. Census Bureau and the host institution, with most located on college campuses or within government agency offices. Researchers from across the social sciences and health sciences actively use this type of data in their research, and the center is currently being utilized by researchers from units across the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences as well as other colleges within the university.

Office of Risk Management and Insurance Research

The Office of Risk Management and Insurance Research (ORMIR) conducts research that examines the critical issues facing the risk management industry and engages students and other stakeholders from throughout the campus to better recognize, analyze, and address risk.

New risks are altering the physical and operational landscape, making it more difficult to effectively anticipate the future. Emerging risks, including climate change and cyber risks, and others that may not be known or clearly evident, will have economic impacts that are increasingly linked to societal and geopolitical risks. These are the areas where research conducted through ORMIR can have an impact.
