RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

My role in the Yvonne L. Munn Center for Nursing Research is to support doctorally and masters prepared nurses in the development of education and research grant proposals from early conceptualization through submission and post-award monitoring and to foster the participation of all levels of MGH nurses in nursing research activities. My goal is to further nursing research through internal and external funding sources.
