Cynthia Anne Connolly, assistant professor of nursing, was granted a curriculum development award from the History of Medicine Division of the National Library of Medicine (NLM). The library invited historians to compete for funding to review its library and resources in Washington, D.C., in order to identify materials in their collection that could be used to enhance the teaching of the history of medicine. Connolly's application argued for the importance of using NLM's materials to develop a nursing history course. She will spend 80 hours in residence at the NLM during the next year and use its materials to develop a course on the history of nursing. She will also provide an educational seminar for her colleagues at the American Association for the History of Nursing's annual meeting on teaching nursing history using primary historical materials. Her syllabus will be placed on the NLM's website for faculty around the nation to use as a model.
The Peabody Museum of Natural History was one of four area groups that received grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to fund projects dedicated to restoring and protecting Long Island Sound. The grant of $2,082 will be used to help pay for cleaning up the Long Wharf Nature Preserve, the Quinnipiac and Mill rivers and the shoreline east of the Quinnipiac next April.
Kathleen Carroll, professor of psychiatry, is the recipient of a MERIT award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The award program gives outstanding NIDA researchers up to 10 years to focus on innovative research without the administrative burdens of preparing and submitting full grant applications for the MERIT extension. The 4- or 5-year extendable awards are granted to researchers who have received approval and outstanding priority scores for regular NIDA research projects. MERIT winners are nominated by NIDA program staff, reviewed by a panel of staff and outside scientists convened by the institute's director, recommended by the National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse, and selected by NIDA's director.
