Over $8 million in funding over the past 5 years from sources such as the National Institutes of Health (NINR, NIMH, NICHD), the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Health and Human Services (HRSA/MCHB) support health promotion research and educational projects led by our faculty. Research areas include:
- Public health
- Childbearing and child-rearing families
- Adolescent health
- Children with special health care needs
- Family health
The Center is an ideal environment for the nursing scholar whose passion is to make a real difference in the health of underserved people.
- It is located in the midst of the richly diverse Twin Cities urban area, where the public schools report that more than 80 languages - from the Spanish of the Americas to the Somali of Africa to the Hmong of Southeast Asia - are spoken in students' homes.
- It is housed in the University of Minnesota School of Nursing, which is small enough to provide a collaborative environment yet enjoys the resources of the nation's third-ranked public research university, its nationally recognized Academic Health Center, and Minnesota's progressive and world-renowned health care community.
