Research facilities
The Future of Health Care Starts Here
The Department of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy has excellent research facilities that support studies involving big data and statistical modeling.
Our quantitative research facilities include computer labs for students, a secure research computing environment (co-managed with the Center for Drug Evaluation and Safety, or CoDES), that houses several population-based data sets, including more than 350 million covered lives, and a variety of software packages.
POP’s Core Facilities Include:
- Multiple Zoom-enabled large conference-style and smaller collaborative rooms, dedicated to ongoing research studies with wall-mounted video cameras
- TV monitors in each conference room for wireless projection
- Omnidirectional microphones
- Ample graduate student working space (with >75 individual work spaces), as well as shared office space for post-docs and research staff
- The department also provides an array of hardware, software, and personnel, including Research Coordinators and Data Managers and Analysts, who provide computing infrastructure management and statistical consultation
POP’s Research Computing Infrastructure is managed in coordination with the Center for Drug Evaluation and Safety (CoDES), including the CoDES high speed research server and POP/CoDES-managed access to UF’s HiPerGator and ResVault. Additional information regarding specifics of this research computing infrastructure can be found on the CoDES website.
