NUHS receives research education grant

The National Institute of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine recently awarded National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) in Lombard a science education partnership award. The $756,000 award will be implemented over the course of four years to fund curriculum and faculty development in evidence-based research. The funded project is part of a partnership with the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The new program will add depth and breadth to the research component of the doctor of chiropractic degree program with new course topics to include fundamentals of research, case studies, evidence-based practice, and others. The new program will also provide university faculty with in-service workshops, additional journal club opportunities, and advanced training in research design, methods, and literature appraisal. Additionally, the program will fund research sabbaticals and opportunities for faculty and students to engage in coursework and lab mentorship at the University of Illinois.
