The school is ranked among the top 50 in research funding, and dedicated to advancing evidence-based clinical practice and the discipline of Nursing through scholarly research, education, and practice.

Earlier this year, the University of California, Irvine received the largest gift in its history, a $200 million donation from Susan and Henry Samueli to name the first of its kind Susan and Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences, which will position UCI as a new leader in population health, patient care, education, and research. The school of nursing will be one of four academic units in the College of Health Sciences, including the Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Population Health, creating many opportunities for interdisciplinary research.
