- Create social impact through changes in policy, clinical, and community practice.
Vision
Our vision is to be a thriving research center for interprofessional scientists to collaborate and act to address complex health outcomes and health inequities through contextually rich research. We will:
- Have multi/interdisciplinary membership
- Involve researchers at all phases of experience from students to National Institutes of Health (NIH) recipients
- Engage clinical, community, and research-intensive perspectives.
