UManage Pilot Projects
The UManage Center will fund ten pilot research studies over five years. These will not only offer nursing faculty the opportunity to pursue research that will help individuals improve their health through the use of wearable and handheld devices that promote symptom self-management, but will also assist in the development of larger, population-based studies and expand the research capacity of nurse scientists.
To date, ten pilot project grants have been assigned to faculty in the College of Nursing.
