Centers & Institutes
The College of Health & Human Performance is home to four research centers. Through these centers, faculty and researchers use state-of-the-art technology to collect data that help us understand people. We use this understanding to treat addiction, improve the quality of life for those with debilitating neurological, cardiovascular and muscular diseases, and help span cultural divides through tourism and sport.
