Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences

What Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences does

Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS) is the health care enterprise of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, operating as a public academic health system that integrates biomedical education, translational research, and clinical care delivery. RBHS encompasses eight professional schools — New Jersey Medical School, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, School of Nursing, Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, School of Health Professions, School of Public Health, and School of Graduate Studies — plus research institutes and clinical facilities across Newark, New Brunswick, Piscataway, and Blackwood. The enterprise serves approximately 2.3 million annual patient visits, supports 450+ active clinical trials at any given time, and includes 36 faculty fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. RBHS operates as a government state entity under Rutgers University, governed by a Board of Trustees, with no traditional private equity or venture ownership structure.

The underlying technology and research infrastructure includes the Amarel high-performance computing cluster, the Caliburn supercomputer (the most powerful in New Jersey at the time of its 2016 build), the OnCore Clinical Trial Management System used across the enterprise, and Epic EMR integration with partner hospitals. The CINJ Biomedical Informatics platform provides genome-scale analyses, histopathology imaging, cheminformatics, and clinical data warehouse services. NJ ACTS (New Jersey Alliance for Clinical and Translational Science) is the CTSA-funded translational research backbone, aggregating CMS Medicaid/Medicare data, National Death Index data, AHRQ-funded CERTs research, and biobank resources.

RBHS generates revenue through four primary streams: patient care services billed through insurance and public programs, federal research grants (NIH CTSA, ARPA-H, AHRQ), tuition and educational program fees across its schools, and industry-sponsored clinical trials contract revenue managed through the Clinical Trials Office. Pricing is not publicly disclosed as the institution is a public academic health system. Customer segments include patients, medical and health professions students, research faculty and investigators, and staff. Distribution occurs through direct patient care, academic programs, partner-hospital clinical trials (RWJBarnabas Health, University Hospital Newark, St. Peter's University Hospital), and community engagement programs across New Jersey.
