Abstract: Universities are considered the main centers for the national research base, paving the way for the development of transdisciplinary projects, crucial in the context of the complex challenges facing society. The organization of scientific research must prioritize the human factor and involve establishing the departments involved in university scientific research and the connections between them. This paper presents the perceptions of academic staff at a medical university regarding the organization and implementation of research within the university and the sources of research funding. The results highlight a clear orientation towards interdisciplinary research, albeit conducted within the organization itself, and a weak prioritization of fundamental research. Additionally, funding through international grants is seen as less accessible than national funding, despite the medical field being considered a priority in the funding programs. The research findings are relevant for decision-makers in the field of research funding at both the national and organizational levels.
