The vision of the Center for Community Health is to partner with the community to enhance community capacity for prevention and conduct policy-relevant health research.  The Center for Community Health strives to translate research into practice and policy, eliminate health disparities in the North Texas area, and create replicable models of change to improve population health in our nation.  The Center for Community Health is a joint project of the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth and the J.

The Center for Urban Economics is dedicated to providing innovative research on the economic landscape unique to urban environments.  The Center believes that cities suffer from unique economic challenges which require unique economic solutions and policies.  When properly understood, even poorer areas of central cities are overflowing with economic potential.  However, accurate data and specific, place-based analysis can be hard to come by.  The Center for Urban Economics, a joint project between The J. McDonald Williams Institute and the UTD School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences, exists to fill this information gap.
