Well done, Dr. Mark Huerta for your involvement in this newly funded project on faculty mental health and well-being! Great to see you part of this team led by Dr. Karin Jensen from UM.
Congratulations to a team of researchers led by U-M BME’s Karin Jensen, Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering, on receiving a $1.5M grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to launch a national study on faculty mental health and well-being. This study will be conducted in collaboration with Dr. Jeanne Sanders, Senior Researcher, U-M; Dr. Mark Huerta, Assistant Professor, Engineering Education, Virginia Tech; and Dr. Julie Martin, Engineering Education Transformations Institute Director, University of Georgia. Mental health and well-being are rising concerns nationally, with university faculty often experiencing a high stress environment. This research will be a national study focusing on the prevalence and severity of mental health problems among faculty working in STEM disciplines.
