FSU College of Nursing receives $1.9 million award to advance AI-powered behavioral healthcare
The Florida State University College of Nursing has been awarded $1.96 million through the National Institutes of Health Director’s New Innovator Award to develop and test an artificial intelligence-powered intervention that delivers personalized behavioral health support to people who use problematic substances.
Funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and led by Assistant Professor Liying Wang, the project will support the development and testing of a program called Glow. This generative AI-powered, just-in-time adaptive intervention will provide personalized dialectical behavior therapy skills coaching to people who are at risk for HIV or substance use. The research will explore how AI can reduce health risks associated with HIV and substance use by safely delivering personalized behavioral health skills and coping strategies when individuals need them most.
“By combining the patient-centered perspective of nursing with evidence-based behavioral interventions and emerging AI technologies, this work has the potential to make personalized support timelier and more responsive to individual needs,” Wang said. “Ultimately, we hope to explore how these technologies can safely extend the reach of care and improve patient outcomes.”
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).
