(Press-News.org) The University of Arizona College of Nursing was one of 50 institutions nationwide to receive a Health Resources and Services Administration grant to increase the number and diversity of Doctor of Nursing Practice students in clinical rotations at Federally Qualified Health Center partners in southern Arizona.
The project will use the $2.6 million in funding from the HRSA’s Advanced Nursing Education Workforce Program to deploy immersive managed practice adaptable clinical training, or IMPACT, starting in the spring semester of 2024.
The grant will support students pursuing doctorates in the specialty areas of family medicine, psychiatric mental health and nurse-midwifery who are being prepared to provide primary care services, mental health and substance use disorder care, and maternal health care for the diverse populations in southern Arizona’s rural, border and medically underserved communities.
“Students will receive $25,000 to support their clinical year,” said project director Allen Prettyman, PhD, who developed the grant proposal with Lindsay Bouchard, DNP. “That covers books, tuition and expenses to decrease barriers to travel and engage with rural and underserved communities.”
The project has two objectives: to provide 12 months of immersive clinical training rotations for diverse cohorts of up to 19 students per year to support workforce development; and to support IMPACT health care partners in developing and retaining providers and preceptors from diverse backgrounds that align with their community population.
“Many students have financial responsibilities and are still working as they complete the DNP program,” Bouchard said. “This funding will allow them to focus on their studies and clinical rotations more fully. The grant will also help us establish a longitudinal clinical placement model. Students will be with the same clinical partner for 12 months, providing a stable clinical learning environment that promotes clinical and academic success.
“The grant funding also provides financial support for our community partners,” Bouchard added. “We are grateful to have established and grown a network of clinical partners through this grant.”
This work is funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under award no. 1T94HP49356.

Blue-light filtering spectacles probably make no difference to eye strain, eye health or sleep quality
2023-08-18
Spectacles that are marketed to filter out blue light probably make no difference to eye strain caused by computer use or to sleep quality, according to a review of 17 randomised controlled trials of the best available evidence so far.
Nor did the review find any evidence that blue-light filtering lenses protect against damage to the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, as included studies did not evaluate this outcome. Blue-light filtering lenses, also known as blue-light blocking spectacles, have been increasingly prescribed or recommended, often by optometrists, ...
Demon Hunting: Physicists confirm 67-year-old prediction of massless, neutral composite particle
2023-08-18
In 1956, theoretical physicist David Pines predicted that electrons in a solid can do something strange. While they normally have a mass and an electric charge, Pines asserted that they can combine to form a composite particle that is massless, neutral, and does not interact with light. He called this particle a “demon.” Since then, it has been speculated to play an important role in the behaviors of a wide variety of metals. Unfortunately, the same properties that make it interesting have allowed it to elude detection since its prediction.
Now, a team of researchers led by Peter Abbamonte, a professor of physics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, ...
Stanford Medicine-led research identifies gene ‘fingerprint’ for brain aging
2023-08-18
Most of us who’ve reached middle age have noticed a slowing in memory and cognition, but scientists don’t have a clear picture of the molecular changes that take place in the brain to cause it.
Now, a study in mice has determined that the most pronounced changes occur in the white matter, a type of nervous system tissue that’s integral to transmitting signals across the brain. The study also examined two treatments — caloric restriction and infusions of plasma from young mice — that affect certain regions of the brain, with ...
Study observes sudden acceleration of flow, generates new boundary layer
2023-08-18
In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign observed an unexpected internal boundary layer.
“Not only were we able to identify a new internal boundary layer, but we were able to systematically track its height so we can understand its growth rate. We also noticed that it only formed if our pressure grading, our acceleration, was sufficiently strong. There was a threshold under which we didn't ...
Being divorced and male among factors that increase risk of lower limb amputation among people with diabetes
2023-08-18
New research to be presented at this year’s Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Hamburg, Germany (2-6 October) shows that among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, being divorced is associated with a two-thirds higher risk of lower limb amputation (LLA) (amputations below the knee level) compared with being married, and being male is associated with a 57% higher risk of LLA compared with being female. The study is by Dr Stefan Jansson, Örebro University, Örebro, Sweden, and colleagues.

Researchers find walkable communities are healthier for both mom and baby
2023-08-17
DURHAM, N.H. — Pregnant women that live in walkable communities—with more sidewalks, parks and walking paths—not only engage in more physical activity but are also more likely to experience favorable birth outcomes, according to research from the University of New Hampshire.
The study, published in the journal of Economics and Human Biology, found that expectant mothers living in walkable counties tend to engage in more walking and exercise and have fewer issues with premature births, low birth weight, gestational diabetes and hypertension. Walking is often recommended as a safer, ...
Oregon State researchers develop novel technique for sniffing out toxic algae blooms
2023-08-17
Different cyanobacterial species produce different toxins, said OSU’s Kimberly Halsey, who led the study. Most of them cause gastrointestinal illness and acute skin rashes, and they can be deadly. In 2017, more than 30 cattle died after drinking contaminated water at Junipers Reservoir near Lakeview, Oregon, and blooms particularly pose a threat to dogs entering affected lakes.
Even though the research dealt with just one lake and one toxin, the research demonstrates VOCs’ potential in monitoring critical waterways, said Halsey, associate professor of microbiology in the College of Science.
She said the study published ...
New research: Political attitudes did not change during COVID-19 pandemic
2023-08-17
EAST LANSING, Mich. – There is a traditional understanding that if someone experiences a threatening event, their attitudes and beliefs will change. Some scholars predict that a threat will cause someone to become more conservative on a variety of issues or that they will become more extreme in their attitudes. However, a new study from researchers at Michigan State University and Tilburg University found that Americans’ political attitudes did not change significantly during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, contrary to ...
RESEARCH ALERT: City of Hope scientists unravel how TET2 gene deficiency fuels development of acute myeloid leukemia
2023-08-17
FINDINGS
Scientists at City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, have identified how low levels of the TET2 gene fuel the rapid growth of acute myeloid leukemia in animal models. Cell Stem Cell recently published the study.
A team led by Jianjun Chen, Ph.D., the Simms/Mann Family Foundation Chair in Systems Biology at Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, found that TET2 deficiency sets off a cascade of biochemical changes that enhance the bone marrow cancer’s ability to spread. These changes ...
