Investigators interested in initiating a research project are encouraged to contact Dr. Alexandra Hanlon via email (alhanlon@nursing.upenn.edu) to schedule a face-to-face meeting. Prior to the meeting, it is recommended that the investigator provide a brief summary of the objectives and study design.
