The School of Nursing continues to be ranked among the nation’s top nursing schools for research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), according to an independent ranking of peer institutions.

The Fiscal Year 2022 rankings from the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research compare schools, departments, and all institutions across the United States on the basis of NIH funding.

The school posted the third highest total among nursing schools during 2022, with approximately $15 million in research and training grants, fellowships, and other awards.

The school’s NIH-funded grants supported various research areas, including health disparities and equity, environmental health, dementia and related caregiving, HIV, chronic pain management, kidney disease, gut microbiome, machine learning, and cancer pain management.
