Innovative Nursing Research
Research at the UVa School of Nursing is conducted by teams in a number of research
centers as well as by individual researchers. Our research focuses on alternative and
complementary therapies, rural health, mental health, nursing history, oncology,
aging, domestic violence as well as other important health-related topics. In
addition to federal grants, funding is provided by private foundations and
intramural grants to stimulate creative projects. Opportunities are often created
for students - undergraduates, master's and doctoral level - to participate in the
research enterprise.
The School of Nursing's strong research mission includes a foundation based on
collaboration to produce new knowledge. From developing new understandings of
human behavior to new models for care delivery, our research teams are
energetic, focused, and growing.
