Unit of Scientific Research Projects (USRP) of University of Health Sciences started its activities in 2017. Original, academic, innovative, value-added, visionary projects are tried to be supported according to the requirements of our country. As the first university with a health theme, infrastructure projects are among the most supported projects in order to raise strong future. Scientific research, master's, doctorate and specialty projects are other supported projects, and since the day it went into action, many projects (50 projects in 2017, 100 projects in 2018, and 114 projects in 2019) have been supported. The number of projects decided to be supported as of September 2020 is 93.
Through the USRP, an extremely important research laboratory infrastructure is being established with the Fuat Sezgin Validebağ Research Center project to our University. Also Hamidiye Faculty of Medicine Biochemistry, Histology, Cell Culture and Modeling Laboratory, Medical Microbiology, Anatomy, Dental Medicine Preclinical Phantom Laboratory, Pharmacy, Nursing, Midwifery, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Pharmacognosis, Pharmacologic Toxicology, Food, Nutrition and Dietetics, Phytotherapy, Occupational Health and Safety, First and Emergency Aid Simulation Systems Training, Children's Play and Drama Research and Education Laboratories have been established in the Hamidiye Campus.
