Exchange Ideas. Build Connections. Make an Impact.

The CAYA ARCH Institute—Advancing Research and Community Health—is a new initiative within the WKU College of Health and Human Services that brings together applied research centers, faculty expertise, and community partners. ARCH is designed to strengthen collaboration, support community-engaged research, and increase the collective impact of this work across WKU and the communities we serve.

"CAYA ARCH will support and coordinate applied research centers, clinics and laboratories within the College of Health and Human Services, pursue federal funding from agencies including NIH, CDC and NSF, and ensure that research findings translate into meaningful improvements in health and well-being across Kentucky."
