FSU Colleges Nursing and Medicine Awarded $1.6 Million NIH Grant to Train Next Generation of Nurse Scientists in Digital Health and AI
The Florida State University College of Nursing and College of Medicine have been awarded a $1,616,469 Institutional National Research Service Award (T32) from the National Institutes of Health to prepare the next generation of nurse scientists to harness technology and artificial intelligence in improving health outcomes for a variety of populations.
The five-year training program, NURTURe: Nurse Scientists Using Research, Technology and AI to Uplift Resilient eHealth Outcomes, prepares nurse-trained postdoctoral fellows for careers as researchers in digital health. Fellows within the program will develop, test and apply digital health and AI tools for preventing disease and managing chronic conditions, with a focus on rural communities where access to care can be limited. The program will be based within the college’s Institute on Digital Health and Innovation (IDHI) and supported by the FSU College of Medicine’s Center for Translational Behavioral Science (CTBScience).
