Welcome to HCRI!
Kent State University has a proud history of innovation in health research. The Healthy Communities Research Institute (HCRI) builds on this legacy by uniting faculty, students, staff, and partners across disciplines to pursue meaningful solutions that improve lives.
Through research, publishing, and outreach, HCRI generates and shares knowledge that supports healthier communities—locally, nationally, and globally.
We invite you to become part of the HCRI community—to collaborate, contribute, and help advance work that makes a difference in people’s lives. If you have any questions about HCRI or membership, please get in touch with us.
