Dr. Miller’s research efforts focus on discovering and measuring factors that affect the rural community marketplace with particular emphasis on small and entrepreneurial businesses, family-owned businesses, women and Latino-owned businesses, and formal networks that build collaboration among independent business owners.

She has been an active grant writer generating $1.98M in funding for multi-state, multi-disciplinary research with 12 external grants funded. Her research has been published in 25 different peer-reviewed journals including Journal of Small Business Management, Entrepreneurship & Regional Development, Journal of the Community Development Society, Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal, Family Business Review, International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, International Small Business Journal, Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business, Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services, and Psychology and Marketing.
