Research

Research at The University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing is designed to improve health outcomes for individuals and communities with varying needs. This approach supports the idea that nursing research underpins graduate education and advances the science of health promotion and disease prevention.

With more than 30 years of combined research experience, faculty at the nursing school have designed innovative and culturally appropriate programs to:

• Improve the health of those with chronic and disabling conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis
• Prevent health problems in homeless adolescents, low-income pregnant women, elders, and caregivers of frail or vulnerable family members.

These nursing research projects avail graduate students with rich, complex and extensive training experiences that help develop leaders in nursing.

PhD graduates from the School of Nursing have established successful careers in academia, industry, and government.
