Director of the Institute of Behavioral Science, Lori Hunter, recently published an op-ed with the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel. In the op-ed, Lori advocates for social science research funding to support the well-being of rural America. Lori highlights the intersecting issues of health care access, extreme weather, and an aging population in Delta and Mesa counties, two rural counties of Colorado. Lori’s op ed calls on rural Americans to support social science research, ensuring policymakers receive the data they need to provide effective solutions for rural problems.
