Harriet J. Kitzman Center for Research Support
The Harriet J. Kitzman Center for Research Support and its staff offer comprehensive support to School of Nursing faculty and students, in order to:
- facilitate the research and scholarly development of the School of Nursing faculty and their intra- and interdisciplinary collaborators
- provide training opportunities for pre- and postdoctoral fellows in all phases of the research process
