About the Center for Nursing Research

The Center for Nursing Research (CNR) at Kent State University is dedicated to supporting faculty and students to advance the science of nursing and health care research and engage in collaborative research locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.

Led by the Associate Dean for Research at the College of Nursing with assistance from the Senior Grants Administrator, the CNR provides infrastructure support for all phases of research, project leadership, and research mentoring to faculty and students pursuing research and other scholarly endeavors.
