Research is at the heart of Tufts University School of Dental Medicine (TUSDM). To advance research that will profoundly impact human health, we established the Dental Research Administration (DRA). Our mission is clear: to promote the research enterprise at TUSDM, reduce administrative burden, and support research productivity and compliance.
