Founded in 2023 at the University of Utah within the Epidemiology Department, researchers recognized that the institution’s extensive research capabilities and experienced staff were well positioned to help break new ground on medical cannabis research, thus creating MCORE.

The MCORE team focuses on health services research, population health, and clinical trials. Our aim is to understand and share the experiences of people who use medical cannabis including their experience within the Utah medical cannabis program and patient health outcomes. We have collaborated with other researchers, industry stakeholders, and departments within the state government and would be happy to hear from you about potential collaborative projects.
