Behavioral and Prevention Research Core

The Behavioral and Prevention Research Core is an interprofessional team of researchers and scholars at the Capstone College of Nursing, chaired by Dr. Leigh Ann Bray. The Research Core is designed to promote collaboration among faculty and students with an interest in behavioral and prevention research across the lifespan. Several core efforts to support collaborative research engagement and scholarly productivity include monthly core meetings, scheduled individual and group writing sessions, the annual CCN writing retreat, the CCN internal manuscript review, and community-driven education initiatives in surrounding rural counties.
