Grants awarded to Center for Hispanic Studies - University of Texas Arlington School of Nursing

Two research grants to encourage nursing research relevant to the Hispanic population were awarded by the Center for Hispanic Studies in Nursing and Health. The center is part of the UT Arlington School of Nursing, and the $1,000 awards were given to two women affiliated with the nursing school.

Cheryl Anderson, an associate professor of nursing at the school, proposed a study to better understand the psychological impact giving birth among Hispanic teens. Marygrace Leveille, a doctoral candidate in nursing at the school, proposed studying lipid levels, obesity and coronary plaque accumulation in pre-menopausal Hispanic women in order to better prevent coronary heart disease, which will kill one out of four women.”*
