Professor Ramzi Salloum, Ph.D., has been appointed as the Associate Chair for Research in the Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics (HOBI). In this new role, he will focus on supporting faculty and trainees around strategic funding opportunities for research.
Research in HOBI applies both quantitative and qualitative methods to a wide range of health issues that include cancer, addiction, behavioral health, and aging. These innovative efforts seek to improve how health care is delivered and the wellbeing of all patients.
HOBI research is funded by a variety of sources including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), and the Florida Department of Health. Salloum will play a lead role in developing strategies for seeking awards for collaborative research, large scale clinical trials, as well as early- career awards.
Salloum’s multiple roles at the University of Florida and his professional networks provide a solid foundation for promoting collaborative research. Within HOBI, Salloum serves as the Division Chief for Implementation Science, and this December he will be speaking at the closing plenary of the Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health.
Salloum also serves as the Associate Director of Community Outreach and Engagement at the UF Health Cancer Center and the Director of the Learning Health System Program at the UF Clinical and Translational Science Institute.
In addition to NIH awards, Salloum has obtained funding for his research from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, the Florida Department of Health, the International Development Research Centre, and Cancer Research UK.
