pic - researchResearch funding in the College of Nursing has steadily increased over the last ten years. In FY 2007, our collaborative total funding was $5,327,973. In the past two years, the College has logged more than 200 research-based publications and presentations. In 2005, the Chronicle of Higher Education ranked our faculty ninth among public and private nursing doctoral programs nationwide in terms of scholarly activity.

The Office of Research and Scholarship is the research hub of the College of Nursing. Here both students and faculty will find support and encouragement for their research activities. Available resources include assistance in obtaining extramural funding, literature searches, statistical consultation and manuscript preparation.

The office sponsors monthly seminars which spotlight interesting research projects being conducted by faculty and students in the College, as well as invited guests. A research scholarship group meets monthly to discuss emerging research ideas, proposal development, conduct of research projects, and manuscript writing. A bimonthly research newsletter, Inquiring Minds, is distributed to all faculty and graduate students in the College.
