Welcome to the Center for Nursing Research (CNR) at the William F. Connell School of Nursing at Boston College. The CNR was established to serve as an institutional research support resource for faculty and students. The goals of the CNR are to facilitate (1) the scholarly contributions of faculty in the School of Nursing, (2) intra and interdisciplinary research collaboration, and (3) dissemination of research findings.


The William F. Connell School of Nursing has a longstanding commitment to scholarly inquiry, ranging from interests in health response patterns to interventions with vulnerable populations. We invite you to explore our site, the diverse research portfolio of the school, and the exceptional faculty and student scholarly contributions aimed at improved health care for all.
