Published September 1, 2014 This content is archived.
At UB School of Nursing researchers believe that mentorship is key to the development of a successful research program. Through the Mecca S. Cranley Mentorship Award we are able to connect faculty with expert researchers from around the country to collaborate on high quality publications and grant applications. This year, Drs. Grace Dean, Suzanne Dickerson, Carla Jungquist, and Davina Porock received the group mentorship award to focus on sleep research which is emerging as a critical mass of scholarship in our school. This group of faculty are primed for successful research programs in the area of sleep. Additionally, UBSON has faculty with research programs that would like to integrate sleep and circadian rhythms measures in their work. Through the Mentorship Award they received expert consultation and mentorship from Dr. Michael Perlis, PhD, University of Pennsylvania. Three major grants have been submitted this year from this group’s work with Dr. Perlis.
