CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University has been awarded six economic stimulus grants worth $3.7 million by federal institutions that support innovative research and academic programs.
Projects funded by the grants include: establishing a center of excellence on end-of-life science; expanding the Self-Management Advancement through Research and Translation Center by involving more disabled people in research studies; developing electronic tools to reduce health disparities; testing the effects of getting hospital patients on their feet quickly; and providing opportunities to disadvantaged students.
“The stimulus awards represent that the hard work of our dynamic faculty and staff is unique, relevant, and, most of all, needed,” says May Wykle, the Marvin E. and Ruth Durr Denekas Professor and dean of the nursing school, in a written statement.

In addition to funding research, some stimulus money will be used to create scholarships for students. Nurse Faculty Loan Program money is available for U.S. students in master’s and doctorate programs in nursing who take courses that prepare them to become nurse educators. Recipients of this money may be eligible to have up to 85 percent of their loans forgiven over a four-year period while they serve as full-time nursing school faculty members.
Two of the six nursing school awards were included in an Oct. 9 summary of 109 grants for $49 million granted to the university by that date. The grant money comes from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which went into effect in February.
