Research
Northwestern’s Wolfe-Harris Center for Clinical Studies, located on the Bloomington campus, houses one of the leading natural health care research centers in the United States. The Center’s two newest studies, focusing on back-related leg pain and integrative care for low back pain, pushed the University over the $7 million mark in funding from federal agencies. That is the largest amount of federal funding of any research center in the country focusing solely on natural health care research. In addition, the University’s research efforts are now being expanded to the other academic programs on campus. A limited study was conducted in 2006 in the teaching clinic of the Minnesota College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and the Center recently completed a pilot study of massage therapy for tension headaches.20

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
