No. Expanding research and generating breakthroughs in Oregon remain a top priority for OHSU. To illustrate that point: OHSU’s School of Medicine research is now ranked 19th in the nation, up from 24th, despite stiff competition and the flat lining of the NIH budget. Also, since 2000 OHSU research has generated 28 spinoff companies, most of which exist within the state of Oregon.
