About Us
In collaboration with the School of Nursing Leadership and Faculty, the Impact Office provides high-level administrative and operational support to service contracts, sponsor-funded projects, and internal initiatives. Housed in the Office for Nursing Research and Innovation, the Impact Office serves as a project management hub, partnering with Principal Investigators through the life-cycle of projects with a limited research focus.
The services of the Impact Office are fully funded by the projects the office supports at a current rate of $100/hour. The cost for Impact Office support will be built into the budgets of new proposals with transparency to the funder and faculty.
