Research and Industry Relations Committee (RIRC)
The Research and Industry Relations Committee (RIRC), is a student-led organization focused on empowering medical student research and elevating student research programs to the national level. In partnership with the Office of Medical Student Research, we are actively implementing and dynamically improving our nationally-recognized student research program model here at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.
