Funded Community Projects
The College of Nursing is proud of our extensive portfolio of
active funded projects. The college has a long history of developing research and practice projects in strong partnership with community residents and community-based organizations. Our philosophy that engaging "with" communities to discover solutions to the problems that they identify rather than simply studying community issues goes back several decades and we are well positioned for the new funding opportunities emerging in translational and community based research. This CON community engagement concept has resulted in long-standing community partnerships that support collaborative initiatives that integrate community-based participatory research with community service/practice activities while providing unique community- based education opportunities for students.
