Epps Joins Betty Irene Moore Fellowship Program
Funded by a $37.5 million grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the program recognizes early- to mid-career nursing scholars and innovators with a high potential to accelerate leadership in nursing research, practice, education, policy, and entrepreneurship.
As part of the three-year program, fellows receive $450,000 to conduct an innovative project that addresses a knowledge gap, meets a vital need, alters care delivery, or provides a new solution to advance health. Epps’ project is an education initiative called “Caregiving While Black.” It seeks to enhance Black caregivers’ competence and confidence in addressing challenges encountered in navigating social and health care systems on behalf of persons living with dementia.
