The Office of the Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Studies (ADRGS), led by Dr. Manisha Patel, provides full-scope support for all research and sponsored projects coming into the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In addition, we administer several internal funding opportunities, such as the Skaggs Scholars program with several Skaggs schools of Pharmacy and internal ADRGS Seed grants. We are proud to support over $18 Million in grant funding in the current FY. We are also the home of all the Graduate Studies Programs within CU Pharmacy. Together the Pharmaceutical Sciences PhD and Master's Programs, Toxicology PhD program and Pharmaceutical Outcomes Research PhD program have over 100 students enrolled. Our graduates are highly successful, well-trained scientists who work in many sectors including industry, pharmaceutical outcomes research, academia and state and federal governments. 

The ADRGS organizes and sponsors the Annual SSPPS Research Retreat and hosts the SSPPS Research in Progress seminars. For the Graduate Studies area, we bring in subject matter experts and hold many townhalls, lunch and learns, and other professional development seminars. In addition, we support the SSPPS Graduate Student symposium and other CU-AMC Student events.
