Furthermore, she has conducted research in the area of PNI and complimentary clinical interventions. Funders for this |
| important work include the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute for Nursing Research, and the National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine.

She has served on numerous NIH study sections and is a reviewer for the Journal of Advanced Nursing, Nursing Research, and Brain, Behavior, and Immunity. Her nominator noted that, “The work that she has undertaken was a forerunner of what has now been identified at the NIH as clinical and translational research. The complexity of her work is reflected in the amount of national funding she has received and its impact can be partly judged by the extensive dissemination of her findings. … Her mentorship is unassuming and thoughtful. She is a team player in all sense of that expression.” |
