Mark Lazenby, Dean of the Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing shares his perspective…
Federal funding helps nurses at the Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing at UC Irvine make discoveries in health and care. Nursing research uses science to learn how to keep people healthy at every age and help them when they are sick. This work matches the school’s goal to improve health for everyone, especially people who need it most. NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) give grants that support our faculty’s research, such as studying how apps can track depression symptoms among young adults, building effective community health programs, improving disaster preparedness, lessening the spread of infectious diseases, relieving the stress of caregivers of dementia patients, and improving cognitive outcomes for children born with heart defects. These funds let our school’s nurse researchers turn ideas into real solutions. Continued federal support keeps this progress going and helps UC Irvine’s Sue and Bill Gross School of Nursing faculty improve care and health for all now and in the future.
