Principal Investigator/Evaluator: Jennifer Craft Morgan, Ph.D., Associate Director of Research, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill UNC Institute on Aging

The project will evaluate the impact of state-based support-for-service programs on recruitment, retention, and work-life of nurse faculty. The evaluation includes programs that support graduate students pursuing nursing degrees as well as those providing loan repayment for recently prepared nurse faculty members. Data will be collected on participants in programs in several states and appropriate comparison groups of non-participants will be incorporated in addressing key evaluation questions. Dr. Jennifer Craft Morgan of the UNC Institute on Aging will lead this evaluation project.
