Research

With over 30 active grants and nearly $3.7 million in funding in 2011, the UW Department of Family Medicine (UW-DFM) has one of the largest, most dynamic research programs in the country

Our investigators have received national recognition for innovative research and intervention projects in areas such as:

• Alcohol and substance abuse;
• Complementary/integrative medicine;
• Translational research; and
• Nutrition and childhood obesity prevention.

These projects, though diverse, share a common goal: to generate and implement knowledge that transforms the practice of family medicine.
