Brief Bio

Dr. Pamela Mitchell (Consulting Professor) is assisting in the development of the structure for the Duke Translational Nursing Institute (DTNI), developing the DTNI focus on Models of Care, and providing assistance in the development of the business case for translational science in nursing. Dr. Mitchell is Professor of Nursing in the Biobehavioral Nursing & Health Systems Department at the University of Washington (UW) School of Nursing, Professor of Clinical Education at Harborview Medical Center, Adjunct Professor in the Department of Health Services of the UW School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Director of the UW Center for Health Sciences Interprofessional Education, and Co-Director of the Research Education Core of the UW Institute of Translational Health Sciences.

Dr. Mitchell has over 30 years of experience in research that blends clinical and health services research, particularly with people who have critical and chronic neurological disorders and conditions. For over a decade, she has led interdisciplinary research teams in testing interventions to improve recovery from brain injury and has both led and participated in interdisciplinary research training grants. Her research investigates fundamental physiologic factors influencing the responses of critically ill neurologic/neurosurgical patients to ordinary nursing care activities, clinical and translational trials aimed at improving recovery in chronic cardiocerebrovascular illness, and comparative effectiveness of care delivery systems as they influence patient outcomes.

Dr. Mitchell is a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing and served as its President from 2007 to 2009. She is a Fellow of the American Heart/American Stroke Association, has chaired the Stroke Council Nursing and Rehabilitation Professions Committee, and currently serves on the American Stroke Association Advisory Board. She has also chaired the American Academy of Nursing Expert Panel on Quality Care and the Initial Review Group of the National Institute of Nursing Research, and has served on the Steering Committee for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Patient Safety Research Coordinating Center, the Department of Defense Patient Safety Teamwork Study Advisory Panel, and the Institute of Medicine Committee on Work Environments in Nursing and Patient Safety. Recent honors include the Friends of the National Institute of Nursing Research Pathfinder Distinguished Research Award (2007), the University of Washington School of Nursing Distinguished Research Award (2010), and the Sigma Theta Tau International Research Hall of Fame (2010). Dr. Mitchell has been selected to receive the 2011 Ada Sue Hinshaw Award of the Friends of the National Institute of Nursing Research in recognition of her sustained work as a nursing researcher whose science has been widely disseminated throughout healthcare settings.

• Institute of Translational Health Sciences (Clinical and Translational Science Award – CTSA)  
  National Center for Research Resources
  UL1 RR025014
  09/2007-05/2017
  Role: Co-investigator
  This grant is linked to two training grants (TL1 and KL2); together, the three grants fund the Institute of Translational Health Sciences, a partnership between the University of Washington, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center, and local and regional research and community partners. The Institute fosters collaboration, career development, education, innovative technologies and resources, and the translational health research process itself. Role: Co director of Research Education Core and Project Director of workforce development supplement, which aims to provide the educational programs and career development needed to strengthen translational research at all levels.

• Improving Mental Health Care in Safety Net Medical Settings  
  National Institutes of Health
  1 T32 MH082709-01A2
  07/2010-07/2015
  Role: Executive Committee and Mentor
  This grant will provide postdoctoral research training in improving mental health in safety net medical settings to an interdisciplinary group of mental health professionals. The interdisciplinary program will be centered at the Departments of Psychiatry and Medicine in the School of Medicine and will also include participation from the Schools of Social Work, Nursing, and Public Health. Our interdisciplinary program is embedded in an academic-public sector partnership that has flourished for several decades.
