Pre- and Postdoctoral Fellowships at Carolina Nursing: Preventing and Managing Chronic Illness

At Carolina Nursing, our pre- and postdoctoral T32 funding will support research aimed at preventing and managing chronic illness using multilevel, theory-based interventions that target behaviors, environmental factors, and personal determinants that increase the risk of illness onset, greater burden, and poorer outcomes.

Interested in learning more? The article linked below summarizes how our T32 grant will prepare nurse scientists using community-engaged intervention mapping.

Interested in learning more about our new PhD curriculum? Please check out the new  PhD curriculum map here .

Our vision is to prepare a diverse group of graduates who are highly capable and driven to engage in a career devoted to research and scholarly scientific activities that enhance the health of individuals, families and communities; using biobehavioral, psychosocial and ecological approaches; that increase the effectiveness of health care systems; and further the translation of research into practice.

The PhD program in Nursing at UNC is one of the best in the country.  We:

• Prepare nursing scholars to conduct scientific studies consistent with the program vision: to enhance the health of individuals, families and communities; increase the effectiveness of health care systems; and further the translation of research into practice.
• Have consistently been identified as one of the top Schools of Nursing in the country. A variety of faculty research grants provides multiple opportunities for research training, interdisciplinary collaboration, and professional development. These opportunities provide an outstanding training context to ensure that our graduates are prepared to assume scientific leadership roles early in their research careers.

• Are part of a cutting-edge research-intensive university, with a wonderfully rich and diverse environment within which to conduct research.

• Are part of an extraordinarily strong health science division that includes public health, pharmacy, medicine, social work and dentistry – all of which are located on the main campus of the University.
• Are part of a University that is home to 121 interdisciplinary research centers, institutes, and initiatives that bring faculty together across campus to collaborative research-focused areas. SON faculty, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows are highly active members of many of these centers.

Among the many outstanding resources that are available to our PhD students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the following are housed within, and managed by the School of Nursing:

• The  Biobehavioral Laboratory (BBL)  assists with the development of biological and behavioral measuring techniques for the study of chronic illness and nursing intervention outcomes.
• The T32 research training grant on Prevention and Management of Chronic Illness provides extensive opportunities for doctoral and postdoctoral trainees to be involved in funded studies. Continued funding has been sought for the T32 research training grant in Health Care Quality and Patient Outcomes, which is also designed to support doctoral and postdoctoral trainees.
• The  Office of Research and Scholarship (ORS)  assists in grant development, preparation and submission.

To provide adequate mentoring, we want to assure that your planned research aligns well with the scientific expertise of one or more faculty members. This is what we refer to as a faculty-student “match”.  This match may take a number of different forms. One type of match occurs when you are studying the same problem as is the  faculty member  – say, cardiovascular disease, or cancer, or increasing access to care for diverse populations. Another type of match occurs when you are using the same methodological approach as the faculty member – this might be qualitative or quantitative, cross-sectional or longitudinal, or observational or experimental. Another kind of match occurs when you are studying similar populations, say, children or the elderly. 

We provide an opportunity for you to communicate your research interests to selected faculty before you decide to apply, so please take some time to explore our Areas of Expertise to learn about the current research taking place at Carolina Nursing.

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to  email the Office of Student Affairs .

Copies of all records, including immunizations, should be retained by the student to submit to the School of Nursing credentialing system prior to enrollment in clinical courses.

Physical and/or Emotional Problems That Do Not Respond to Treatment

Students in any program can be dismissed from the School of Nursing for physical and/or emotional problems that do not respond to appropriate treatment and/or counseling within a reasonable period of time.

Investigation and Evaluation

When faculty members identify a student who presents physical and/or emotional problems that do not respond to appropriate treatment and/or counseling, they immediately suspend the student from the course. Faculty notify the Course Chair and/or Program Director within the School of Nursing. Upon determination by the faculty, Course Chair and Program Director, that the physical and/or emotional problems warrant dismissal from the School of Nursing, the Dean will be notified.

The Dean, in consultation with the faculty, and upon review of the documentation, will make a decision regarding recommending dismissal of the student from the School of Nursing.

The Dean of Nursing will send to the Dean of the Graduate School written notification of the recommendation. If the Dean of Nursing recommends dismissal from the School of Nursing, the Dean of the Graduate School will notify the student. Should the student wish to appeal the decision, the student will submit a written request to the School of Nursing Appeals Committee. The Dean of Nursing will provide to the committee the accumulated correspondence or documentation related to the issue.

A request for an appeal should occur within seven working days of written notification of the decision from the Dean of the Graduate School.

Hearing Process

The chairman of the School of Nursing Appeals Committee will thereafter notify the student, the faculty member, Course Chair and Program Director as to the time and place for a hearing to determine whether the physical and/or emotional problems warrant dismissal.

The Committee will hold a closed hearing within ten days at which time the faculty member, Course Chair and Program Director will be present and will provide documentation and other oral or written evidence regarding the incident. The student will be present and will be given an opportunity to provide documentation and other oral or written evidence regarding the problem. The student will be allowed an advocate/support person at the hearing; however, the support cannot speak.

Following the factual presentation, the Committee will convene in executive session to determine whether the problem warrants dismissal from the School.

The Committee shall make its recommendation in writing to the Dean of Nursing and forward pertinent documentation. The Committee may recommend dismissal from the School of Nursing major, or reinstatement in the program.

Post Hearing Process

The Dean of Nursing may accept, reject, or modify the Committee’s recommendation. The Dean’s decision will be made after review of the minutes of the hearing and report to the Committee. If the Dean of Nursing accepts the Committee’s recommendation to dismiss the student from the School of Nursing, the recommendation will be forwarded to the Dean of the Graduate School who will notify the student. The Dean of Nursing will notify the faculty member(s) as to the determination.

A student who has been dismissed may reapply for admission to the School of Nursing.

Policy on Unsafe Practice

The nursing faculty of the School of Nursing have an academic, legal, and ethical responsibility to prepare graduates who are competent as well as to protect the public and health care community from unsafe nursing practice. It is within this context that students can be disciplined or dismissed from the School of Nursing for practice or behavior which threatens or has the potential to threaten the safety of a client, a family member or substitute familial person, another student, a faculty member, or other health care provider.

Student Awareness

All students are expected to be familiar with the principles of safe practice and are expected to perform in accordance with these requirements. Within courses, counseling and advising processes, and other instructional forums, students will be provided with the opportunity to discuss the policy and its implications.

An unsafe practice is defined as: An act or behavior of the type which violates the North Carolina Nursing Practice Act, Article 9 of Chapter 90 of the North Carolina General Statutes (NCGS 90-171.37; 90-171.44).

An act or behavior of the type which violates the Code of Ethics for Nurses of the American Nurses Association.

An act or behavior which threatens or has the potential to threaten the physical, emotional, mental or environmental safety of the client, a family member or substitute familial person, another student, a faculty member or other health care provider. For prelicensure undergraduate students this is defined as any Reckless Behavior or repeated At Risk Behavior as identified on the NCBON Just Culture Nursing Student Practice Event Evaluation Tool (SPEET).  See https://www.ncbon.com/vdownloads/just-culture/just-culture-speet.pdf).

An act or behavior (commission or omission) which constitutes nursing practice for which a student is not authorized or educated at the time of the incident.

Investigation and Evaluation of an Unsafe Practice

When an incident occurs which a faculty member believes may constitute an unsafe practice, he/she shall immediately notify the student and instruct the student to leave the clinical setting. The faculty member will notify the Course Chair and/or Program Director within the School of Nursing.

The Course Chair and/or Program Director will investigate the incident within three working days to determine whether there are grounds for believing that an unsafe practice has occurred. If the incident is minor, the faculty member, in consultation with the person named above, may require remedial work or instruction for the student.

If the incident is major, the Course Chair or Program Director, in consultation with the involved faculty member, will review the student's clinical performance evaluations, academic record, and potential for successful completion of the major in nursing. Based upon this careful and deliberate review, a decision to reprimand the student,  require withdrawal from the clinical course, or to recommend dismissal of the student from the School of Nursing will be made. The Dean will be informed of the decision and will send written notification of the decision to the student via certified mail. 

Should the student wish to appeal the decision, the student will submit a written request to the School of Nursing Appeals Committee. The Program Director or course faculty will provide the accumulated correspondence or documentation related to the issue to the Committee.

A request for an appeal should occur within seven working days of  receipt of written notification of the decision from the Dean. 

The Chair of the School of Nursing Appeals Committee will thereafter notify the student, the faculty member, Course Chair and Program Director as to the time and place for a hearing.

The Committee will hold a closed hearing within ten working days of receipt of the request for an appeal, at which time the faculty member, may be present and will provide documentation and other oral or written evidence regarding the incident. The student will be allowed an advocate/support person at the hearing; however, the support person cannot speak at the hearing and cannot be an attorney.

Following the factual presentation, the Committee will convene in executive session to review the actions taken against the student for unsafe practice and to make a recommendation regarding the resolution of the incident. The Committee will base its recommendation on the evidence presented at the hearing.

The Committee shall make its recommendation in writing to the Dean and forward pertinent documentation. The Committee may recommend the following remedies: support for the action taken, remedial work or instruction, a reprimand, withdrawal from the course, or  dismissal from the School of Nursing.

The Dean may accept or reject the Committee’s recommendation. The Dean’s decision will be made after review of the minutes of the hearing and report of the Committee. The Dean will notify the student and the faculty member(s) as to the decision made.  Dismissal from the School of Nursing does not constitute dismissal from the University.  A student who has been dismissed may reapply for admission to the School of Nursing.  

Appeal of Policies

If a student wishes to appeal a policy in the School of Nursing, the student should complete a “Student Appeal Request.” The Student Appeals Committee hears student appeals. Students may obtain the request form and discuss the appeals process with the Chair of the Committee, the Associate Dean for Academic Programs, or the Director of the student's Program.

Readmission After Withdrawal

Any student who is withdrawn or withdraws from the program must apply for readmission through normal admission procedures.
