About Research at the Center for Resiliency
We support research that bridges theory with practice and that directly impacts solving our most pressing problems influencing Southeast Texas’ readiness to deal with crises.
Resiliency Topics and Methods
Center for Resiliency approaches research from an interdisciplinary perspective. We employ high-quality and high-impact research standards in every step: from the selection of project proposals and multiple in-process reviews to final research reports and product deliveries. External reviewers, academics and practitioners, participate in making decisions, as needed and based on their subject expertise and national disciplinary standing.
