Transforming Technology for the Warfighter
The mission of USU is to support the readiness of America’s Warfighter and the health and well-being of the military community by educating and developing uniformed health professionals, scientists and leaders; by conducting cutting-edge, military-relevant research, and by providing operational support to units around the world.
Since our first graduating class in 1980, the USU's MDs. Nurses and graduates in biomedical sciences provide exceptional service through service in the U.S. Military and civilian careers of distinction. Today, America's Medical School has 691 enrolled students and 5,043 graduates. Over 1,300 graduates in Biomedical Sciences lead aggressive research in medical research. Today's 663 graduates of the School of Nursing blend science, research and field training in advanced practice and PhD degrees. The USU's Postgraduate Dental College provides advanced degree's to the military's dental community, graduating 72 students since establishment.
The University's research program covers a range of clinical and other topics important to both the military and public health. Infectious diseases, trauma medicine, health maintenance, and cancer are areas of particular strength. Researchers are also making important new efforts in state-of-the-art fields that cut across disciplines, such as genomics, proteomics, and drug-delivery mechanisms.
USU is home to many different Centers and Institutes, which help advance the university's research, education and public service missions. Faculty members and students collaborate with other leading experts at USU's Centers and Institutes on projects that push incredible boundaries across manifold disciplines of biomedical science. Their work is shaping military medicine and world health in many positive, powerful ways.
The USU's military unique curriculum is supported by military professions from all services who teach USU's military and civilian students. All military personnel are supported by the USU Brigade, the Brigade staff are managed by the Military Personnel Office.
AFRRI mission is to preserve the health and performance of U.S. military personnel and to protect humankind through research that advances understanding of the effects of ionizing radiation.
To these ends, the institute collaboratively researches the biological effects of ionizing radiation and provides medical training and emergency response to manage incidents related to radiation exposure.

Technological Research and Innovation - Biomedical Informatics Systems Unit (TRI-BISU)
Mission Statement:
The Assistant Vice President for Technological Research and Innovation, Biomedical Informatics Systems Unit's (TRI-BISU) mission is to develop data and biological repository capabilities for USU that catalogs research projects and synergizes data resources across USU into an integrated data repository with standardized vocabulary. To provide biomedical informatics support for USU researchers with hands-on precision medicine data analytics to produce meaningfully comparable results across USU studies.
The goals of the TRI-BISU are to:
· Develop and sustain a data and biological resource to support relevant USU biomedical research.
· Deploy a user-friendly interface to access study metadata with querying power to reference phenotypes, test and other collected data across multiple studies simultaneously. USU faculty, staff and students
· Provide a rapidly responding interface that simplifies querying and returning meaningful research biorepository results.
· Build a data repository utilizing common medical vocabulary, allowing for query returns of information for formulating new hypotheses from the research information system
· Apply biomedical informatics data analytics to identify early perturbations in research data, identifying potential biomarkers for new treatment targets and development of more sensitive diagnostics.
In summary:
The TRI-BISU delivers biomedical informatics support for USU researchers to cross query the research data repository to identify perturbations in research outcomes identifying biomarkers, new ways of treatment, and more sensitive diagnostics with the vision to improve the warfighter and their families’ health.
