Dr. Susan Loeb Awarded Grant

We are very happy to share that Susan J. Loeb PhD, RN, FGSA, FAAN,  Associate Professor at Penn State College of Nursing and ACNA member has been awarded an NIH grant for prison peer-caregiver training research.  This award allows continuation of her team’s research on "E-training of Inmate Peer Caregivers for Enhancing Geriatric and End-of-life Care in Prisons."  The research study will be conducted at state correctional institutions throughout the U.S., focusing primarily on the research and development of an e-training product, called Inmates Care, that will prepare individuals who are incarcerated to assist prison staff in addressing the care needs of aged and dying men and women in the highly restrictive settings of state prisons.  This new research phase will allow for extended development, and improved quality and testing of the caregiver training program.
