Our research programs apply user-centered design principles to the creation of novel interventions that enhance quality of life experiences, at present mainly in the area of pediatric research medicine.
 
The CMA maintains a design and consulting business, offering services in video production, graphic & interactive design, user experience planning and usability testing, to underwrite the early stages of new research, education, and business initiatives.
 
The Center’s higher-education agenda trains students in the use of human factors for successful product development, maintains a study-abroad exchange in digital media, and engages graduate assistants, undergraduate interns, and Honors College students in CMA research activities.
