Research & Graduate Education
We are a research and graduate education division in the UAMS College of Pharmacy. We seek to generate real-world evidence on the value, safety, effectiveness, and policy impact of medications and pharmacy services—and to train the next generation of scientists through the PEP Track of the Pharmaceutical Sciences M.S. and Ph.D.
What We Study
- Pharmacoepidemiology & Real-World Evidence (observational methods; large databases; EHR-linked analytics)
- Health Economics & Health Technology Assessment (cost-effectiveness and budget impact modeling; value assessment)
- Comparative Effectiveness & Implementation Science (pragmatic and applied evaluations)
- Medical Device Evidence (performance and safety using real-world data infrastructures)
- Substance Use, Pain, & Mental Health (opioid policy; OUD treatment; outcomes in vulnerable populations)
- Cancer Outcomes & Quality of Care
- Data Integration & Analytics
How We Work
We take an applied, collaborative approach—partnering with health systems, the VA, public agencies, payers, and industry—to deliver rigorous, decision-ready evidence that informs clinical practice and policy.
