Research and Resources

Clemson’s research in addiction and mental health is spearheaded by the Center for Addiction and Mental Health Research (CAMHR) located in the College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences. This research includes epidemiology, prevention and intervention for addiction and mental health conditions. Visit the CAMHR website to learn more.

Many Clemson health researchers are aligned with tackling the challenges of aging and making strides in healthy aging solutions. The College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences’ (CBSHS) Institute for Engaged Aging (IEA) provides the organizational structure to support these efforts. Research conducted by the multidisciplinary IEA faculty meets the diverse needs of older adults. With a focus on brain, mobility, technology and health and well-being, IEA researchers are committed to helping older adults retain their independence and ability to stay fully engaged in life. Housed within the Clemson University Department of Psychology, visit the CBSHS Institute for Engaged Aging to learn more.

The CDC defines One Health as an approach that recognizes that the health of people is closely connected to the health of animals and our shared environment. The Clemson One Health Research Group brings together researchers from different Clemson colleges and facilities, and studies topics of interconnected well-being, disease control, and holistic collaboration. Innovative research with this group seeks optimal health outcomes for individuals, animals, and the environment while also encouraging cross-disciplinary research and conversations. Visit the One Health Research Group website to learn more.

The Data Support Core is available to help researchers within the Prisma Health Education and Research Institute. The support core team can help determine sample sizes, populations, as well as data analysis, initial data consultation for study development, translation of clinical questions into research hypotheses, study planning/study design assistance with data collection and methodology, and help with the write-up of the statistical methods for abstracts, presentations, and manuscripts.

The Data Support Core is located at 605 Grove Rd., Suite 301 Greenville, SC 29605.

REDCap is a secure web application for building and managing online surveys and databases. While REDCap can be used to collect virtually any type of data in any environment (including compliance with 21 CFR Part 11, FISMA, HIPAA, and GDPR), it is specifically geared to support online and offline data capture for research studies and operations. The REDCap Consortium, a vast support network of collaborators, is composed of thousands of active institutional partners in over one hundred countries who utilize and support their own individual REDCap systems.
