The mission of the University of New England (UNE)/Spurwink Center for Research is to conduct research that improves the health and quality of life for our most vulnerable populations and to enhance the interactive influence of research, clinical practice, service system functioning and public policy. Research topics range from biomedical projects to social, behavioral, and service delivery system research, and outcomes-oriented evaluation.

Working in partnership with the University of New England, the UNE/Spurwink Center for Research examines service system designs, financing mechanisms, and policies related to the attainment of outcomes in clients’ lives and impact on social environments.

The UNE/Spurwink Center for Research assesses clinical and service system integration within and across all service sectors and its relation to outcomes and efficacy.

The UNE/Spurwink Center for Research cultivates collaborative relationships with community-based agencies and organizations with whom we share common interests for joint research leading to action outcomes.
