About

The Sonderegger Research Center (SRC), established in 1985, was the first center in the nation to feature health services research in pharmacy and remains a national leader.

Improving Medication Outcomes

SRC research contributes to improved medication outcomes by addressing:

  • Organization and financing of health care
  • Policy and public health
  • Quality and promotion of best practice in pharmacy
  • Patient behavior and outcomes

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

The SRC’s core interdisciplinary faculty facilitates pharmacy practice enhancement and research through developing and collaborating with pharmacy partners. The SRC brings resources to help pharmacies achieve their agenda of serving the people of Wisconsin to their full capacity, including PearlRx (Pharmacy Practice Enhancement and Action Research Link), a practice-based network of Wisconsin pharmacists spanning all practice settings.

Financial Support

The SRC is generously funded by the UW Madison School of Pharmacy.

Wisconsin Idea

One of the longest and deepest traditions surrounding the University of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Idea signifies a general principle: that education should influence people’s lives beyond the boundaries of the classroom. Synonymous with Wisconsin for more than a century, this “Idea” has become the guiding philosophy of university outreach efforts in Wisconsin and throughout the world. SRC is an officially recognized University of Wisconsin–Madison research center, and embodies the Wisconsin Idea in its mission.
