iIMPACT Community Impact

The Institute for Interdisciplinary Memphis Partnerships to Advance Community Transformation (iIMPACT) is an institute designed to transform community engagement and research within The University of Memphis. iIMPACT serves as catalyst to ensure that the current and future initiatives consciously work to achieve the same goals. iIMPACT projects are collaborative, interdisciplinary, and focus on improving the health and education outcomes for children and families. iIMPACT is currently funded by the Urban Child Institute.
