Kathleen Knafl



Nursing professor Kathleen Knafl
to chair group responsible for
review of NIH grant applications

Kathleen Knafl, professor and acting associate dean for academic affairs at the School of Nursing, has been selected to chair the Nursing Science: Children and Families Study Section of the Center for Scientific Review (CSR).

The CSR receives all research and training grant applications submitted to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as those presented to other components of the Department of Health and Human Services. The center not only reviews most of the NIH applications for scientific merit, it refers proposals to the appropriate institutes or centers for consideration, helps develop grant and award policies and procedures; and works with the NIH components to present information about the peer review system to the scientific community.

Members of the CSR are selected on the basis of their demonstrated competence and achievement in their scientific discipline as evidenced by the quality of research accomplishments, publications in scientific journals, and other significant scientific activities, achievements and honors.

At the School of Nursing, Knafl teaches family and research design courses in the doctoral and pediatric nurse practitioner programs. Her research focuses on family management of childhood chronic illness and she has completed a series of studies describing distinct patterns of family response to the challenges presented by a child's chronic illness. Her work sets the stage for developing and testing nursing interventions that meet the unique needs of diverse families and support optimal family and child functioning. As an expert on family research, she serves as a consultant to the NIH as well to other universities and researchers.
