Located on President Street, the College of Health Professions Research Building (CHP-C) serves as the home to many of the college’s research initiatives and state-of-the-art laboratories. The work happening here connects research with real-world needs, with a focus on improving health, rehabilitation, and quality of life. Through collaboration across disciplines, researchers investigate new approaches to care, use data to better understand health outcomes and develop strategies to support patients and communities. These efforts also create opportunities to connect scientific discovery with the clinical professions represented throughout CHP.
Researchers across the college explore areas including Alzheimer’s disease and addictions, health services delivery, health disparities, neurological rehabilitation, veteran health and voice and swallowing disorders. Featured research centers and initiatives:
