Funded Research Projects
During the past several years, the UWM College of Nursing has greatly expanded its portfolio of active funded projects. The major research programs emerging in the college focus on self management science, the health and healthcare of older adults, nursing informatics, innovations in health promotion and community based practice, and issues of concern to vulnerable populations. In 2007, the Consortium for Pediatric Nursing Research was launched to advance our discovery in the area of children’s health. We also have growing strength in physiological and international programs of research.
