HCGNE - Research Initiatives

• Increase the number and quality of pre and post doctoral students and strengthen their training programs
• Entice undergraduate students to pursue gerontological nurse scientists careers

Hartford research initiatives will serve the Midwest as a nexus for enhancing the quality and quantity of gerontological nursing research in the Midwest by coordinating:

• an expanded inter-university senior-junior gerontological faculty mentoring program
• a gerontological seed grants program to aid junior faculty in establishing successful programs of gerontological nursing research, deliver week-long summer method camps and initiate a 4-week summer research intensive.
