Margaret Grey



Margaret Grey is named
dean of School of Nursing

President Richard C. Levin has named Margaret Grey, a pediatric nurse and diabetes expert, as dean of the Yale School of Nursing (YSN), effective Sept. 1.

Grey is the Annie Goodrich Professor of Nursing Research and associate dean for scholarly affairs at YSN. A graduate of the school who joined the faculty in 1993, her responsibilities have included oversight of the school's scholarly activities and teaching in the doctoral program.

"She has mentored many faculty in developing research programs, spurring a tremendous growth in faculty research," Levin said in a letter to the Yale community. "Due in part to her leadership and support of others, the Yale School of Nursing now ranks sixth among nursing schools in NIH funding."

Grey is an internationally known researcher in the natural history of adaptation to chronic illness in childhood, especially children with diabetes mellitus. She has developed and studied behavioral interventions that improve both metabolic control of diabetes and the quality of life in young people and their parents and prevent type 2 diabetes in high-risk youths. Grey has been instrumental in the development of practice-based research networks in nursing. She has been principal investigator for grants totaling over $15 million.

The new dean holds a B.S.N. from the University of Pittsburgh, an M.S.N. from Yale and a Ph.D. in public health from Columbia University. From 1985 to 1993, she held a number of positions at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, including director of the Primary Care Graduate Program and chair of the Family and Community Health Division. Earlier she was at Columbia University, where she served as assistant professor of clinical nursing and director of the Graduate Major in Pediatric Ambulatory Care.

Grey says the fusion of practice, scholarship and teaching is what drew her back to Yale. "It is through all these aspects of our work that faculty and students are making a real difference in each of our communities: at Yale, in New Haven, and in society at large," she notes. "Translating practice to partnerships and policy is one of the things we do exceptionally well.

"It is an honor and privilege to serve as the ninth dean of the Yale School of Nursing," Grey adds. "I look forward with excitement to working with each of you, as we chart the future of our school and step together into the next chapter of YSN's illustrious history."

The author of over 160 journal articles, chapters and abstracts, Grey has received the Excellence in Nursing Research Award from the Association of Faculties of Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Programs, the Achievement in Research Award from the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties, the Outstanding Nurse Researcher Award from the Eastern Nursing Research Society and the Virginia Henderson Award for Outstanding Contributions to Nursing Research from the Connecticut Nurses' Association, among other awards. She is also a distinguished fellow of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Associates and Nurse Practitioners. She was elected to the American Academy of Nursing in 1991.

She has served on multiple National Institutes of Health and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality review panels, and she chaired the Nursing Science Review Committee for the National Institute of Nursing Research 1995-1997. Grey was president of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Associates and Practitioners and a member of the second cohort of Robert Wood Johnson Executive Nurse Fellows and of the National Advisory Council for Nursing Research at the National Institutes of Health. She is currently a member of the board of directors of the American Diabetes Association where she has been instrumental in developing standards of care for youths with diabetes.

In his letter, Levin thanked the members of the search committee, which was chaired by Dr. Stephanie Spangler, and included Professors Elizabeth Bradley, Vincent DeVita, Marjorie Funk, Kathleen Knafl, Judith Krauss, Carolyn Mazure, Gail Melkus and Heather Reynolds. He added special thanks to Sue McDonald for her work in staffing the committee.

Levin concluded by offering a "rousing cheer" for Katherine Jones who, he noted, "did far more than hold the fort as acting dean of the school in the past year." Jones, who joined the faculty in 2003 as a professor in the doctoral program with a focus on health services research and health policy, will return to her faculty position.
