Advancing Nursing Science & Care

Centers provide infrastructure support, leadership and collaborative mentoring for faculty and clinicians, as well as a variety of diverse research opportunities for students, in an unparalleled multi-disciplinary research environment that ultimately improves health for the wider community. These centers encourage students to develop strong critical thinking skills and build an understanding of effective research methods, which will in turn, help them become better healthcare professionals and advocates.

Manning Price Spratlen Center for Antiracism & Equity in Nursing (MPSCARE)

Systemic racism has for generations undermined the health of individuals and communities across America, and clearly is a public health crisis.

Recognizing that nurses play a central role in and hold major responsibility for the health of individuals and communities hit hard by historic racial inequity, the University of Washington School of Nursing is establishing the Center for Antiracism in Nursing. To shape the center and determine its priorities, listening sessions will be held scheduled in the near future to hear the interests of faculty, staff, students, alumni, nurse leaders, healthcare institutions, community organizations and professional associations.
