The WICHE Center is one of eight Rural Health Research Centers funded by the federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Office of Rural Health Policy. Over the last four years, the Center has built a foundation upon which to build new effective science to service initiatives. Through these projects, as well as others in the past, the WICHE mental health program has fostered and maintained a relationship with an approved Institutional Review Board. Representing a core staff of social scientists in sociology, psychology, social work, geography, economics, biostatistics, public health, family medicine and nursing, the Center for Rural Mental Health Research operates as an autonomously organized center in the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE). To help us formulate our research agenda and effectively disseminate our findings, the Center has engaged principals from leading rural constituency groups across the country.
