Ada Sue Hinshaw RESEARCH GRANT
|
|
The Ada Sue Hinshaw Research Grant is funded by FNINR in honor of Ada Sue Hinshaw, PhD, RN, FAAN, the first permanent Director of the National Institute of Nursing Research. This award is an unrestricted grant to support the work of a promising and accomplished nurse researcher. The Ada Sue Hinshaw Research Grant focuses attention on the significance of nursing research and the contributions made by nurse scientists that improve health care.

Shirley Moore, PhD, RN, FAAN

|
|
|
The 2007 Ada Sue Hinshaw Research Grant is bestowed upon a researcher whose work has already contributed to recovery and lifestyle change after cardiac events with a special emphasis on testing technology-assisted care in the home. Dr. Shirley Moore is the Edward J. and Louise Mellen Professor of Nursing and Associate Dean for Research at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, Case Western Reserve University.
Dr. Moore's research focuses on biobehavioral interventions to facilitate recovery and lifestyle change following acute cardiac events. In a series of studies, she has developed and tested interventions to facilitate early home recovery after cardiac surgery. Her work includes nontraditional, cost-effective approaches using telehealth technology. This work is inherently interdisciplinary in nature, involving exercise physiologists, physicians, systems engineers, economists, psychologists, social workers and statisticians.
Dr. Moore's research contributions have already led to changes in distance home care of cardiac patients and the development of new models of cardiac rehabilitation. Her work with developing scientists has challenged the notion that a single paradigm of cardiac rehabilitation will meet everyone's needs. Focus on less studied populations, including women, elders, and African Americans with cardiac disease has prompted study of culturally sensitive interventions that include African Americans as co-designers of an electronic home care support intervention. Her work with women has modified assumptions about generalizability of data about cardiovascular health behavior change in men to women. Dr. Moore's research has led to her recognition by the Institute of Medicine and the American College of Graduate Medical Education to share newly-developed models of care. Dr. Moore has recently received a P30 Center grant from the National Institute of Nursing Research to establish a Center of Excellence in Self-Management Research.

Pathfinder Distinguished Service AWARDS
|
|
The Pathfinder Distinguished Service Award is given by FNINR to acknowledge nurse researchers whose work has focused on advancing deep understanding of human health and healthcare and has been sustained by multiple grants from NINR/NCNR. In 2007, FNINR recognizes two nurse researchers whose body of scholarship illustrates long-standing commitment to nursing research that has made a difference in the lives of people with healthcare needs.

Jacqueline M. Dunbar-Jacob, PhD, RN, FAAN

Dr. Jacqueline M. Dunbar-Jacob
|
|
|
|
Dr. Jacqueline M. Dunbar-Jacob is Dean of the School of Nursing at the University of Pittsburgh where she is Professor of Nursing, Epidemiology, Psychology and Occupational Therapy and Director, Center for Research in Chronic Disorders.
For over 20 years, Dr. Dunbar-Jacob has contributed to the understanding of patients' adherence to their treatment regimens. She has focused research on adherence on people living with multiple chronic illnesses, among them rheumatoid arthritis and hyperlipidemia. Her work has helped forge an understanding of adherence, revealing that adherence to treatment among persons with chronic disorders is associated with clinical outcomes. The elements of Dr. Dunbar-Jacob's research program have yielded information that directly influences the care of people with chronic illness who often require multiple medications and complex regimens. In addition, her research has influenced the conduct of clinical trials to enhance adherence to the agent being studied.
Dr. Dunbar-Jacob has served in multiple leadership roles, including the recent appointment as Co-Director of the Community Partners Core of the University of Pittsburgh Clinical and Translational Science Institute funded by NIH. She has been influential in the development of nursing research in the US, having chaired NIH workshops on quality of life and methodological issues in studying adherence. She is currently a member of the Governing Council of the American Academy of Nursing. She has served as president of the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research, past president of the Society for Behavioral Medicine, and past board member of the Society for Clinical Trials as well as a member of the National Advisory Council for Nursing Research, NIH.

Pathfinder Distinguished Service AWARDS

|
Pamela H. Mitchell, PhD, FAAN, FANA
|
|
Dr. Pamela H. Mitchell, is currently Associate Dean for Research at the University of Washington. Dr. Mitchell is also holder of the Elizabeth Sterling Soule Endowed Professorship and Professor of Biobehavioral Nursing.
For over 35 years, Dr. Mitchell has conducted a program of research aimed at improving recovery from brain injury through nursing surveillance and psychosocial interventions. Her program "marries" clinical and health services/care systems research and has a long history of interdisciplinary involvement. Dr. Mitchell conducted the first nursing investigation of the impact of nursing care on intracranial pressure responses and has proceeded with clinical trials of nursing applications of technology designed to produce a highly visible display of cerebral perfusion pressure to aid clinicians in surveillance of the physiologic status of adults with critical brain injury. The outcome of her work includes leading to a significant reduction in mortality during hospitalization and a significant improvement in longer term functional outcomes among those most severely injured compared to those patients monitored with the usual bedside display.

Dr. Mitchell has also studied the introduction of a nurse-managed psychosocial/behavioral intervention as an adjunct to antidepressants for ischemic stroke survivors with depression and led research on patient outcomes in relation to variations in organizational care delivery in crucial care sites, studying how the environment of care influences the outcomes of specific interventions. Her work has been influential in moving nursing sensitive outcomes measures and nurse experts into the National Quality Forum specification of measures for health care organizations.
Finally, Dr. Mitchell continues to contribute to the career development of the next generation of clinical investigators as director of the Biobehavioral Nursing Research Training Program and as Principle Investigator for one of the 10 NIH Roadmap multidisciplinary predoctoral clinical research training programs, the only nurse scientist to head a grant in this Roadmap initiative.
