Environmental Health Research Institute launched by $1 million NIH grant

The Washington State University College of Nursing, among other schools across the U.S., received a $1 million grant to provide environmental health research training.  

The 5-year grant from the NIH National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences covers a train-the-trainer program. 

The program is for 144 faculty, scientists, and educators who will shape the next generation of environmental health nurse scientists.  

Enrollment applications for the first cohort are being accepted until Jan. 31. 

The program is recruiting clinician-scientist participants who have completed at least six academic credits of graduate research and who educate, train, and mentor registered nurses in research trajectories.
