TRAINING

The CNSHR is committed to helping attract, train, mentor and launch the careers of a new generation of translational sleep scientists. Trainees from numerous backgrounds are engaged in all aspects of our research programs. In addition, CNSHR faculty participate in the education of UIC nursing, medical, pharmacy and dental students, exposing them to the challenges and opportunities in the fields of sleep medicine and sleep research.

Currently the Center participates in the following training program:

• BioBehavioral Nursing Research Training
  The purpose of the NIH-funded (T32) Training in Biobehavioral Nursing Research grant is to develop pre-doctoral and post-doctoral nurse researchers in biobehavioral nursing research. The training in the biobehavioral nursing research will focus on the study of neurobehavioral and cardiopulmonary components of health/illness and the interrelatedness between the two. Research opportunities in sleep and sleep disorders cross-cut each of these training goals.
