health trajectory research
The Minnesota Center for Health Trajectory Research, established in 2005 with a $1.5 million
grant from the National Institute of Nursing Research, is developing and testing innovative
interventions that will help individuals and families create optimal pathways to health.
Center researchers are exploring the interrelationships among the many biological, behavioral,
psychosocial, and environmental factors responsible for health or illness and how to manage
them over time.
The Center for Health Trajectory Research is focused on broadening its research dissemination
and educating the public on trajectory research methods. Following completion of the
seminars, links to seminars and presentations conducted on behalf of the Center are added to
the Web site. Seminars are available as PowerPoint handouts and Breeze presentation. They
can also be downloaded in MP3 format. Check out the Center’s new and improved Web site at
