The Department of Spiritual Care Services is pleased to announce that we have been awarded a grant of $4,000 over two years as part of the Transforming Chaplaincy Project, which is sponsored by the John Templeton Foundation in collaboration with Rush University and Brandeis University. The grant is intended to assist us in developing and implementing curricula for our Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) year-long interns to help them increase their research literacy. With consultation from Dr. Laura Dunn (who is now at the Stanford University School of Medicine, but who led the Spiritual AIM research project with the Rev. Dr. Michele Shields and remains a friend to our CPE program), we were able to submit a proposal that was very favorably received. The grant will begin in the 2016 – 2017 internship year.
