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.
