About the Center

The Center for Patient-Centered Interventions (CPCI) supports nursing research related to the design and testing of health-promoting, patient-centered interventions. Patient-centered interventions are customized or tailored to an individual’s attitudes, beliefs, and daily actions—the characteristics that define an individual’s quality of life. Addressing these aspects is key to managing disease, treating illness, or coaching health goals throughout life.

Researchers at the CPCI are interested in a variety of populations. Study populations of interest range in age from teens to elders and range from healthy groups seeking to improve their level of well-being to persons who are facing end-of-life decision making.

The center provides opportunities for pre- and postdoctoral training as well as for pilot funding for faculty who have devised innovative and promising studies in the area of patient-centered interventions. The CPCI is supported by NIH grants P20 NR008987 and T32 NR007102.
