The Center for Nursing Research was established in 1996 to facilitate the development of research by faculty and students.

Goals of the Center include stimulating and assisting faculty and students to develop interdisciplinary research. Staff of the Center provide theoretical, methodological, and clinical research consultation to the School of Nursing faculty, students, and staff. Other services include computer resources and preparation of manuscripts.

The Center is a repository for information on internal and external sources of funding including guidelines and application forms. Updates of current faculty and student research studies and awards are published in our CNR Newsletter. The Center also houses a research library. Faculty and students in the School of Nursing provide input and direction in the Center's continued development.
