Dean appointed to NINR National Advisory Council

Dean Gail Stuart has been appointed to the National Advisory Council for Nursing Research (NACNR), the principal advisory board for the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR).

The Council provides the second level of review of grant applications submitted to the NINR, and recommends to which applications should be approved and considered for funding. These recommendations are based not only on considerations of scientific merit, but also on the relevance of the proposed project to the Institute’s programs and priorities. In addition, the Council reviews the Institute’s extramural programs and also makes recommendations about its intramural research activities.

The 21-person council consists of six ex officio members, and 15 members appointed by the Secretary. Two-thirds of the appointed members are among the leading representatives of the health and scientific disciplines (seven of these members are professional nurses who are recognized experts in the area of clinical practice, education or research) and one-third of the members are from the general public and include leaders in the fields of public policy, law, health policy, economics and management. Each member serves a four-year term.
