Research & Innovation

Research & Innovation

Research: Exploration → Evaluation → Discovery → Dissemination.

Hypothesis testing, comparing effectiveness, quality assessment and other approaches bring knowledge forward to learn more, do more and achieve more.

Innovation: Identify Need → Devise Strategies → Produce or Improve Methods, Techniques and Outcomes.

Innovative thinking to address environmental threats, social schisms or service delivery systems protects and benefits humankind now and in the future.

CHHS is dedicated to providing the network, mechanisms and support services to position faculty and students for success as researchers and innovators.
