“Growing Nursing Science through Mentorship” by Rebecca Schnall, PhD, MPH, RN-BC, FAAN
Dr. Schnall is a nurse scientist and informatician who has committed to mentoring the next generation of nurse scientists. She leads an independent research program focused on understanding the information needs of vulnerable patient populations and developing informatics tools to promote health and prevent disease. Her program of research seeks to reduce health disparities for persons from underserved communities, including those living with and at risk for HIV.
With a team of nurse scientists, HIV clinicians, biostatisticians, and trainees, she directs mixed methods studies that draw on expertise in nursing, informatics, and public health and includes interdisciplinary collaborations with colleagues across the US and internationally in the fields of infectious diseases, social work, American Indian studies, sociomedical sciences, health policy, epidemiology, biomedical informatics, chemistry, psychiatry, emergency medicine, adolescent medicine, and pediatrics.
Dr. Schnall recently completed her service as a standing study section member for the AHRQ Healthcare Safety and Quality Improvement Research. She is now a standing member of the NIH Clinical Management of Patients in Community-based settings study section. She is a frequent reviewer for peer‐reviewed journal publications, for US federal agencies, the Canadian Institute for Health Research and the Ministry of Health in Singapore. In addition to her research efforts, Dr. Schnall mentors all levels of students at Columbia School of Nursing as well as Masters in Public Health students and epidemiology post-doctoral fellows. Her academic contributions are distinguished, with more than 100 peer‐reviewed publications in top journals, as well as multiple presentations, podcasts, book chapters, computer applications and tools.
