Research Centers & Institutes

Our Centers and Institutes advance the College of Health’s mission to improve health outcomes for marginalized populations and communities primarily by addressing the determinants of health that exist outside of healthcare settings. In today’s complex world, achieving equitable health outcomes requires more than traditional medical interventions. It demands a comprehensive approach that considers the social, economic, and environmental factors influencing health. Our research centers and institutes are at the forefront of this mission, driving forward the College of Health’s commitment to health equity and social justice.

The College of Health fosters a collaborative environment that encourages the sharing of expertise and the pursuit of creative ideas through interdisciplinary research. This unique atmosphere enables our researchers to break down silos and work together across various fields, such as public health, social sciences, technology, and policy. By harnessing the diverse perspectives and skills of our faculty, students, and partners, we can develop innovative solutions that address the root causes of health disparities and improve the well-being of underserved communities.

Furthermore, our commitment to innovation and technology supports groundbreaking research with local, national, and global impact. Through advanced data analytics, cutting-edge laboratory work, and community-based participatory research, our centers and institutes are pioneering new ways to tackle health challenges. By integrating technological advancements and innovative methodologies, we ensure our research is not only relevant but also transformative.

Supporting our research Centers & Institutes is crucial for driving progress in health equity. By investing in interdisciplinary research and fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation, we can make meaningful strides in improving health outcomes for all, particularly those in marginalized communities.
