COMMUNITY & PREVENTION RESEARCH
Centers and Initiatives
Great Cities
The Great Cities
mission of UIC means that a core commitment of the university is excellence
in research on urban issues and social problem-solving in the tradition
of land grant universities. Consequently, there are many educational opportunities
on our campus that complement and enrich those available in the Division
of Community and Prevention Research. Many students and faculty participate
in educational offerings provided by UIC's NIMH-funded Prevention Research
Training Program in Urban Children's Mental Health and AIDS Prevention,
a multidisciplinary pre- and post-doctoral training program with over
60 affiliated UIC faculty from six colleges. Doctoral students are also
encouraged to take advantage of multidisciplinary learning opportunities
by enrolling in relevant coursework in, among others, the Departments
of Sociology, Psychiatry,
Disability and Human Development,
Political Science, the School
of Public Health and the College
of Education. In addition, a number of organizations and institutes
have active ties with our doctoral program. Some of these include: The
Great Cities Institute, the Center
for Research on Women and Gender, the Center
for Urban Educational Research and Development, the Institute for
Government and Public Affairs, the Office
of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Concerns, the Health
Research and Policy Centers, the Center
for Literacy, the Institute
on Disability and Human Development, the Institute
for Juvenile Research, the Chicago Public Schools, and the Illinois
Department of Human Services.
