Three University of California nursing faculty members are among 12 nurse educators around the country named a 2011 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nurse Faculty Scholar.
The three UC scholars are Elena Siegel, Ph.D., R.N., an assistant professor and founding faculty member at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis; Nalo Hamilton, Ph.D., M.S.N., an assistant professor at the UCLA School of Nursing; and Jill Esquivel, Ph.D., R.N., N.P., an assistant professor at the UCSF School of Nursing.
The foundation's Nurse Faculty Scholars program aims to help develop the next generation of leaders in academic nursing. Each Nurse Faculty Scholar receives a three-year $350,000 grant to pursue research, as well as mentoring from senior faculty at his or her institution.
