The Schroeder Center regularly provides funding and support for Âé¶¹ÆÆ½â°æ students to work directly with faculty conducting research related to health and health policy. The Schroeder Center takes an interdisciplinary approach to faculty-student collaborations, supporting projects in Public Policy, Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Kinesiology, or any department where health-related research takes place. We aim to foster research collaborations through funding opportunities, data consultations, publicizing results, and by creating a campus community for student and faculty researchers interested in health topics.
