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.
