The Minnesota Center for Health Trajectory Research, funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research, supports interventions that promote, maintain and restore health from infancy to old age. The goal is to influence the trajectory or pathway that individuals and/or families experience with developmental, transitional, acute or chronic health challenges in order to influences optimal health outcomes across the lifespan. Each year the Center supports pilot projects and research seminars related to the theme. The Center's aims are: Building capacity of scientists in nursing and other health disciplines who can conduct research related to interventions that promote positive health outcomes of individuals and families experiencing developmental, acute, or chronic health challenges; Support the development and pilot-testing of research protocols that will lead to applications for extramural support of larger intervention studies designed to improve health trajectories of individuals and/or families across the life span; Strengthen collaboration among scientists in nursing and other health care disciplines for conducting intervention and other health trajectory research; Disseminate research findings to the scientific community, undergraduate and graduate students, nurses and other health care providers, policy makers, consumers, and other relevant lay audiences. | | NEWS New Pilot Studies P20 Press Release Recent Publications Investigators in the News |
