When I arrived at the School of Nursing in 2003, education, and practice. one of my goals as Associate Dean for Research was to not only maintain that reputation, but also build upon its strengths by continually developing new research initiatives for the School, its faculty, and its students. In the School of Nursing’s 2003-2006 Strategic Plan, a strategic goal was set to “establish centers of excellence that build on current strengths and market needs.” The Barbara A. Smith, PhD, RN, FACSM, FAAN Associate Dean for Research Centers would provide the framework for conducting timely and relevant research for today’s challenging health care environment and provide the opportunity for those with similar interests to work together closely. In keeping with that goal, the School launched its first Center of Excellence in 2005 – the Center for Work and Health Research. Currently, a Developing Center of Excellence in Disorders of Neuroregulatory Function is well under way, and just as this magazine was ready to go to press, we received the wonderful news that the criteria has been met for a Developing Center in Palliative Care. The cutting edge research being conducted in these Centers serves the health care needs of the citizens of Maryland, the nation, and the world.
