Ten widely respected nurse scientists, including JHSON post-doc Kathryn Lee, have become the first Fellows of the Nursing Science Incubator for Social Determinants of Health Solutions (N-SISS), ready to begin cutting-edge research to make breakthroughs to advance optimal health for everyone.
N-SISS is a program of the Institute for Policy Solutions (IPS) at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing with support from the National Institute of Nursing Research. The innovative program is co-directed by IPS Executive Director Vincent Guilamo-Ramos, endowed chair for health equity and social determinants of health, and Professor Jason Farley, endowed chair for leadership and innovation.
