The Meyers Cores and Collaboratives provide a shared space for faculty, students, and partners to work together in advancing cutting-edge science and translating discoveries into real-world solutions. Using a transdisciplinary, team science approach, they focus on promoting health for all. Grounded in nursing science, their work emphasizes person- and family-centered care, systems improvement, and translation into practice and policy.
Aging and Serious Illness Research Cores and Collaborative (ASIR)
ASIR works to advance science, practice, and policy to improve care for older adults and people living with serious illness. Faculty lead nationally recognized research in geriatrics, dementia, palliative and end-of-life care, and health equity, driving system and policy change.
