Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing Awarded Grant
The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing has been awarded a five year
(1999-2004 & renewable) interdisciplinary training grant from the National
Institutes of Health (National Institutes of Mental Health) on Violence
Research. The goal of the program
is to train nursing, public health and medical scholars prepared to address the
prevention, identification and amelioration of violence and its physical and
mental health effects. The fellows
obtain interdisciplinary training in the following areas:
1. Family and community violence
2. Social, ethnic and cultural influences on acts of
violence and outcomes
3. Ethical issues in the conduct of violence related research
4. Culturally appropriate interventions and evaluations
5. Multiple methods (including both quantitative and
qualitative data analysis) approaches to violence
related research
6. The research base for policy and advocacy initiatives
7. Supervised guidance in application for external funding
for violence related research.
It affords both clinical and research experiences in violence, including the option
of an international focus. The grant subsidizes two predoctoral fellowships in
Nursing and two in Public Health and a 5th predoctoral fellow from
either field who addresses the intersection of HIV/AIDS and violence, each year
as well as one post doctoral fellowship from any of the three fields. The predoctoral fellowships include full tuition plus a stipend of
$14,700 for the academic year. (Students
can work elsewhere during the summer &/or apply for a summer Teaching
Assistantship or Research Assistantship at JHU).
The fellowships are for full time study during the academic year plus working with
one of the core faculty on the training grant (all funded researchers in the
area of violence) as a Research Assistant approximately 20 hours per week on a
violence related research project. There
is also a violence research seminar attended by all of the fellows that is
jointly taught by the entire interdisciplinary faculty (Schools of Medicine,
SHPH & Nursing). Each student
has two advisors, one in their own school and one in one of the other schools.
Application for predoctoral students is through either the SON or SHPH (with a cover letter
indicating you are interested in the Violence predoctoral fellowship). The goal statement that is part of the application would indicate what
kind of violence related research the student is interested in. Once a student is accepted by the SON or department in the SHPH, their
materials are sent to the interdisciplinary Steering Committee of the Training
Grant for final decisions.
