Nursing Grant Helps Moms, Babies

In June 2008, the School of Nursing was awarded $6.5 million from the National Institute on Drug Abuse to learn more about the long-term benefits of nurse home visits for at-risk mothers and their children. The funding, which is the largest single research award in the school’s history, will support ongoing work directed by Harriet Kitzman, professor and associate dean for research, who has spent more than 30 years identifying ways to improve the lives of women and children.
