Penn State is a Research-I university with state-of-the-art facilities. Faculty and students are dedicated to collaborating with industry and applying knowledge to make our lives better. In accordance with this mission, CHOT at Penn State has engaged with several academic units across Penn State.

Penn State CHOT received the NSF I/UCRC award from January 2010 to July 2023. This project has led to multi-million research expenditure which includes co-funding by NSF, industry members, and university cost sharing. The mission of CHOT is to advance, with its partners, transformation in health systems through innovative and cooperative research.

CHOT research is uniquely positioned at the interface of engineering and medicine to drive major management, clinical, and information technology innovations in healthcare. Everyone who worked in a CHOT research project, either peripherally or directly, will receive multi-disciplinary training and gain interactive experience with industry advisory board (IAB) members. Penn State CHOT has provided and will continue to offer excellent training opportunities for all involved in the research, from undergraduate students to, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, junior and senior scientists, and the PIs/Co-PIs.
