IHSCR Mission


The mission of The Institute for Health, Social, and Community Research is to become a national leader in the multidisciplinary empirical investigation of diverse issues that affect the health and well-being of minorities, particularly African Americans, and their families, and the communities in which they live. This mission will be accomplished through an interdisciplinary approach of intellectual exchange, research, education, consultation, technical assistance, and training that focuses on the discernment of timely and policy-relevant health issues with the goal of disseminating pertinent information to national, state, and local policy makers, the community at large, academic institutions, and funding agencies.

The Institute

   1) develops a collective of researchers involved in health-related areas of interest;

   2) conducts scientifically sound and relevant minority health and health disparity research;

   3) enhances collaborations with Research I level universities and other institutions;

   4) engages students in state-of-the-art research training and public health education; and

   5) provides leadership to Shaw in developing a university focus toward public health.
