The Center is committed to creating relationships among basic, clinical, and translational scientists to apply research findings for the benefit of persons with disability, health inequities, and chronic disease across the lifespan and their families,
caregivers, and communities.
CHPPRR was established in 2022 to meet the growing need of the UTMB research community in health promotion, performance, and rehabilitation research. Our core research areas are Health Across the Lifespan, Learning Health Systems & Health Services Research, Patient-Centered Health & Community Outcomes, Health Promotion, and Neuromotor Control & Performance.
Our Mission & Vision
CHPPRR focuses on the optimization of health across the lifespan through research and discovery of innovative health interventions and outcomes focused on individuals impacted by disability, health inequities, or health conditions. CHPPRR is the scientific
home for person-centered and community-based health research focused on at UTMB, bringing together researchers, educators, clinicians, and community members to use prevention and treatment to optimize health.
