The UW-Madison School of Nursing, the Goodman Community Center and Lussier Community Education Center has been awarded $1 million in federal funding to support health research and improve community health.
The three recipients of the three-year grant are in partnership to establish Project WINNERS (Wisconsin Network for New Employment and Research Support.)
Project WINNERS will create a group of research support workers from among members of underserved and underrepresented populations in Wisconsin and will bring health education programs on topics that community members have identified as most important to them, according to the UW-Madison School of Nursing website.
Project WINNERS will create training programs for people interested in health related careers to obtain a Community Health Research Associate certificate in order to serve as health resource in their community and to increase job skills.
