Institutes and Centers

Research Centers are organizational units focused on promoting and expanding interest and collaboration in a research area across the institution through push, pull, and partnering opportunities.


Center: A multi-mission organizational unit or collection of units focused on patient care, research and/or teaching/education.

Institutionally Supported Research Center: An interdepartmental organization unit focused predominantly on translational, clinical and/or basic science research which facilitates development of a common, focused research agenda aligned with strategic priorities, coordinating contributions from multiple disciplines (other centers, divisions/departments, and programs).  

There are hundreds of centers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, focused on clinical, education, and research. The primary centers identified here are the Institutional Supported Research Centers, and other research centers.

Funding Opportunities

Institutionally supported centers receive institutional support, determined by a faculty peer-reviewed application process. RFAs for the Center Application process are posted under the Funding Opportunities section when they become available.
