NICRP's
mission is to
conduct academic and community-based
research
that will guide the development of policies, programs and services
which will enhance the health and well-being of Nevada's children.
As a research center within the UNLV School of Public Health, NICRP
is dedicated to improving the lives of children through research,
advocacy and other specialized services.
NICRP's History: NICRP started in 1998 based on a vision of
First Lady Sandy
Miller. She wanted an organization that could bring credible research
and rigorous policy analysis to problems that confront Nevada's
children. But she didn't want to stop there. She wanted to transform
that research into meaningful legislation that would make a real
difference in the lives of our children.
NICRP's Mission: The Nevada Institute for Children's
Research and
Policy (NICRP) looks out for Nevada's children. Our mission is to
conduct community based research that will guide the development of
programs and services for Nevada's children. NICRP makes a difference.
The Goals of NICRP include:
- Conducting research and reporting on children's issues
- Provide information that will advance children's causes in Nevada
- Collaborate with community groups, educators, parents and policy makers to promote a focus on children's issues
- Represent Nevada's children on a nationwide basis to ensure that their interests are addressed.
