The Office of the Provost and the Steinbright Career Development Center of Drexel University have granted $7,250 in research co-op funding to Rose Ann DiMaria-Ghalili for the upcoming fall/winter co-op cycle. DiMaria-Ghalili is an associate professor in the Doctor of Nursing Practice Program at the College of Nursing and Health Professions and also has a courtesy appointment with the College’s Nutrition Sciences Department.

The funding will contribute toward a full-time research co-op position in support of DiMaria Ghalili’s current research project. The research co-op fund initiative is designed to encourage more senior students to enroll in graduate programs leading to a doctorate degree immediately upon graduation. By increasing research co-op opportunities at Drexel University across diverse majors of study, the University expects to increase awareness and excitement about research among high performing students who may not otherwise be contemplating graduate study.
