HCAP is proud to house three research centers and institutes (C&Is). The three C&Is are supported under the umbrella institute - the Institute for Health, Community and Policy (iHCAP).
Each center and institute advances the mission of HCAP – to affect change for complex social issues to improve the well-being of our community.
Supporting UTSA’s commitment as a top-tier research university, our HCAP C&Is are committed to generating research, promoting student research and success, and providing additional research support to faculty affiliates.
The Center for Community-Based and Applied Research facilitates collaborative and innovative approaches to the health issues that impact our communities and aims to engage, empower and mobilize communities to increase opportunities for optimal health and quality of life for all.
The Institute for Demographic and Socioeconomic Research focuses on the social and economic characteristics of population and the effects of population change. The Institute is comprised of specialized researchers in various fields of expertise.
IHDR’s Mission is to help achieve health equity in South and Central Texas, the United States, and beyond.
