“Working with communities to improve health & social services through
research and collaboration”
IHSP seeks to provide research and data services to community stakeholders and organizations for the purpose of improving health and social services. IHSP draws on its research resources to provide assessment, analysis, guidance, and training. IHSP seeks to establish long-term research partnerships with these organizations. The overriding goal of IHSP is to create partnerships with area communities that will ultimately enhance the general well-being of the people within those communities and the region as a whole.
Of The University of Akron, President Luis Proenza, says, “Our expertise creates the new materials for the new economy, and shapes the communities that we serve.”
IHSP’s Community Outreach, fits quite well into The University of Akron’s...
Clusters of Excellence . . .
"We see The University of Akron as consisting of a set of four interrelated clusters of excellence that interweave to comprise the tapestry of who we are. Through the four clusters, the University is in turn engaged with the larger community that is Akron and Northeast Ohio. The four clusters are: Discovery & Innovation (All that we do to create and to protect new knowledge and technologies), Cultural Enrichment (All that we do to define the cultural well being of the greater Akron region), Community Well Being (All that we do to enhance the general well being of our community) and Economic Development (All that we do to enhance the economy of Akron, Ohio, the nation, and the world).”
