Center for Research & Scholarship

About the Center

The Center for Research and Scholarship, “CRS”, is the principal source of research and scholarship support for faculty in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation. Research faculty and students successfully submit grants and request support services through the CRS every year. With changing conditions often on the forefront, the CRS readily adapts as needed to ensure services remain timely.

Our Center is here to provide resources to assist with all stages of the research process. The Faculty Resources section provides links that assist with idea development including libraries, on-line and web-based health information, government & health-related agencies, nursing collection and nursing specialty sites (academic & practice) and health agencies and associations.

Resources available also include grant writing ideas and guidelines. Funding proposal submission information can be found on the Funding Opportunities page. Publication and Presentation information is also provided to assist with the dissemination of research findings.

The Associate Dean and CRS staff invite all faculty and staff to use these and other Center for Research and Scholarship services. Send ideas for web links and/or comments on our web site to crs@uta.edu.

Welcome from Dr. Fadel

Research is vital as we continue to build the academic basis of our discipline, promotion of nursing science through the development, use, and evaluation of nursing research to advance the promotion of safe, high quality, cost-effective patient care. We aim to be at the forefront of clinical care and research. The Center is dedicated to facilitating faculty research and providing consultative assistance to faculty and doctoral students in several aspects of proposal development and grant implementation. Specific services include literature searches and retrieval, data entry and analysis, transcription, teleform services and poster presentation assistance. The Center supports an environment in the College of Nursing that is conducive to research, scholarship and the advancement of nursing science.

I hope you will find the Center's staff helpful in supporting your scholarship, publication and other professional routes of dissemination of scientific work. We look forward to working with you.
