Our History

For nearly a century, research has been an integral part of Bassett’s mission. Through groundbreaking exploration in the fields of immunology, bone marrow transplantation, community health, injury prevention, and chronic and infectious disease, Bassett research faculty and staff have been pioneers in advancing rural health.

Our Research Process

At Bassett Research Institute, our various centers collaborate to serve our rural communities. But how do we go from big ideas to concrete impacts?

1. Identify

First, we look to our communities to identify knowledge gaps that can be used to drive research questions.

2. Design

We then design a study or program by seeking funding, recruiting participants, collecting data, and forming collaborations.

3. Analyze

Collected data is then analyzed and interpreted with relevant descriptive, quantitative, and inferential analysis techniques.

4. Share

Finally, conclusions are drawn and shared to better inform our communities and drive future scientific discovery in the field of rural health.
