Welcome to the Comprehensive Healthy Living Research Center, where research meets the real world.

Our mission is clear, prevent disease and improve health through effective community-engaged and population health research. Rooted in three central programs—research, partnerships and engagement, and education and career development—our center serves as a platform that drives transformative, translational, and community-driven research. And, to conduct this work, we specialize in involving community members in the research and interventions, not just as participants, but as partners.

We invite researchers across the institution to explore this website and learn more about how our comprehensive services can be customized to fit almost any need.

As we begin this journey with you, let’s stay connected. Subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates on our new and current projects, upcoming events, and opportunities to get involved.

If you’re a faculty member conducting research on chronic disease, especially through community engaged and population health research, you’re invited to apply for center membership.

Together, we can improve health for all.
