Montefiore-Einstein officials recently announced that Montefiore Medical Center, located in Norwood, The Bronx, received a $300,000 grant from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation to expand its training, retaining, advancing, and integrating novice nurses (TRAINN@ME) program.
They said the funds will be used to train and retain registered nurses to care for the marginalized patient population in The Bronx.
According to Montefiore-Einstein, TRAINN@ME seeks to expand and diversity the nursing workforce in high-need units throughout the health system by taking novice nurses and placing them in a supportive educational and training environment for a six-month residency program.
Separately, researchers at the National Cancer Institute-designated Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC) which, as reported, opened last September, were recently awarded a 4-year, $2.6 million grant from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct what they describe as an innovative, Phase 1 clinical trial of a new drug for patients with relapsed and treatment-resistant forms of AML and MDS. Medical experts at the center say the grant is one of only ten issued this year by the FDA through its Office of Orphan Products Development.
