Research at Columbia University School of Nursing
With 34 active research grants and sponsored projects totaling over $26.8 million, the School of Nursing has a strong commitment to research. The School has 32 doctorally prepared faculty members, several NIH-funded pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellows, and federally-funded training grants in medical informatics; reducing antimicrobial resistance; herbs, neutraceuticals, and supplements; emergency preparedness; advanced nursing education; and nurse anesthesia. In the past 5 years, faculty members have received federally funded and foundation grants in HIV/AIDS in adults and children, clinical outcomes, health policy and health services research, home hygiene, cancer research, cardiac telehealth, prison nurseries, antimicrobial resistance, informatics, patient safety, health economics, and self-management research. The range of research interests at the School of Nursing is reflected by its academic research centers: The Center for AIDS Research, WHO Center for the International Nursing Development of Advanced Practice, The Center for Health Policy, The Center for Evidence-Based Practice in the Underserved, and the Center for Interdisciplinary Research to Reduce Antimicrobial Resistance.
