A message from the Associate Dean of Research
The research program at the University of Kentucky College of Nursing has a prominent role in improving the health of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and beyond. Our scientific discoveries advance healthcare practice and improve health across the spectrum from health promotion to disease prevention and self-management. Our team includes nationally and internationally recognized researchers in such fields as cardiovascular disease, cancer, environmental health, substance use, behavioral health and wellness, and global health.
As the Associate Dean for Research and Nursing Science, I have the privilege of serving the College’s research programs. Committed to the success of our research programs, the Office of Research provides comprehensive resources such as pilot funding, proposal review, research consultation, biostatistical support, and editorial services. Resources are available to support success across the career continuum, from senior investigators to mid- and early-career faculty to graduate and undergraduate students.
We invite you to engage with the UK College of Nursing’s Office of Research and our research programs to contribute to exciting scientific discoveries that are pivotal to shaping the landscape of nursing and improving the health of Kentucky, the nation, and the world!
