Why You Should Come

We are one of the top Schools of Nursing with NIH research funding for the past 7 years. A diversity of faculty grants provide hands-on training opportunities for fellows.
We are part of a cutting-edge research-intensive university. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Nursing (SON) provides a wonderfully rich and diverse environment within which to conduct research.
The SON is part of a strong health science division including public health, pharmacy, medicine, and dentistry which are all located on the main campus of the University.
The University is home to 121 interdisciplinary research centers, institutes, and initiatives that bring faculty together across campus to collaborative research-focused areas.
SON faculty, doctoral, and postdoctoral fellows are very active members of many of these centers.

What our students are saying:

The Biobehavioral Laboratory (BBL) assists with the development of biological and behavioral measuring techniques for the study of chronic illness and nursing intervention outcomes.

The Research Support Center (RSC) assists in grant development, preparation and submission.
