CHERR-ING OUR HISTORY & BACKGROUND
THRC began as the Translational Health Research Initiative (THRI) in 2016 to facilitate innovative health research and sponsore programs that crossed department and disciplinary boundaries.
THRI’s original “Big Idea” led it to be elevated to a university-level research center in 2020, become the Translational Health Research Center (THRC). In its inaugural year, THRC was awarded two grants that helped launch its programs and activities. In 2021, another successful funding proposal helped expand THRC’s core mission to include a Community Health and Economic Resilience Research (CHERR) Center of Excellence.
CHERR’s research and resources provide essential new knowledge to address key social, economic, and environmental issues related to resiliency among individuals and communities.
