The Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) is pleased to announce the launch of the Precision Health Initiative, created with the bold goal of addressing major and large-scale health problems facing humanity through multidisciplinary teams of outstanding, innovative researchers. Precision Health was selected as the first recipient of funding from the Indiana University Grand Challenges Program that is a $300 million research expansion across the entire University. The $120 million investment in Precision Health will be leveraged to recruit approximately 40 new, full-time faculty members on the Indiana University campuses in Bloomington and Indianapolis. Precision Health will also support the creation of new facilities, centers, and user platforms, including new gene editing and sequencing cores at the IUSM, and a GMP facility to produce cellular therapeutics. This investment will be leveraged with other IUSM resources to significantly expand the scope of this initiative.

As part of the Precision Health Initiative, the IUSM will be recruiting visionary leaders for the below leadership positions, supported with substantial institutional resources including generous endowed chairs to support personal research and startup, funds to recruit a cadre of faculty to implement this vision, and an opportunity to leverage/expand state of the art facilities.
