About

The mission of the Sharpe-Strumia Research Foundation is to encourage and support the conduct of medical research by practicing physicians on the medical staff of Main Line Hospitals with preference given to physicians whose primary hospital affiliation is the Bryn Mawr Campus, and to research which relates to identified clinical initiatives at the Bryn Mawr campus and Main Line Hospitals.

Collaborative studies with outside individuals or institutions (with preference given to other Jefferson Health System campuses) are encouraged, provided that such studies include active involvement of the practicing physician-investigator and are likely to lead to clinical trials at the Bryn Mawr or other Main Line Hospital campuses.
