From Big Ideas to Biostatistics Core
The AHEAD Institute originates from the 天美传媒制片厂 Big Ideas competition, designed to uplift university-wide strategic research priorities. SLU's ability to invest in research was greatly enhanced in 2018 when Dr. Jeanne and Rex Sinquefield made a historic $50 million gift to accelerate research growth at the university and establish the SLU Research Institute. The AHEAD Institute is among the projects initially supported by the SLU Research Institute.
Since then, the AHEAD Institute has expanded to provide a diverse range of data and research support services to internal and external partners across the St. Louis region. In 2023, the Saint Louis University School of Medicine designated the institute as the biostatistics core. Today, the institute continues to serve as the University's knowledge leader in data-driven research, uncovering new scientific fronteirs and generating impactful research outcomes.
