The NINR-funded training project supports doctoral trainees and postdoctoral fellows. The training is directed by five core faculty members with participation of affiliate nursing faculty and support faculty representing education, engineering, journalism and medicine. The core training faculty apply diverse but complementary perspectives and techniques to implement patient centered interventions. Fifteen years of support by NIH and private foundations have supported their research. Formal course work may be included.
Fellows are eligible for two years of support.
Post-doctoral fellows are chosen on the basis of their research career goals, the match of their research interests with those of available sponsors, and their overall professional and academic records. To apply for the training program, applicants should send a letter of intent together with their curriculum vita. In the letter please include a description of your research interests, indication of which core faculty member might best fit with your research area, and some thoughts on how your research interests relate to the goals of the training program. Applicants should also send a doctoral program final transcript, two writing samples, and names and addresses of two persons who will provide references. Applicants should request that letters of reference be sent to the address listed below.
