BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Sue K. Donaldson, Ph.D., dean and professor at The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, will discuss "A Quarter Century of Breakthroughs in Nursing Research" at the Third Annual Bonnie Bullough Lecture, to be held at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 30 in the Center for Tomorrow on the University at Buffalo North (Amherst) Campus.

The lecture, named for the late dean of the UB School of Nursing, is designed for interested nursing professionals.

For more than two decades, Donaldson has received National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grants for her basic science laboratory work.

In addition to being dean and professor of nursing since 1994, she also is professor of physiology and holds a joint appointment in oncology in Johns Hopkins' medical school.

She also received federal funding and was principal investigator for two major research program development grants. One was to strengthen faculty research for the doctoral program in nursing at Rush University in Chicago. The other was to establish the Research Center for Long Term Care of the Elderly at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing.

Donaldson previously held the Cora Meidl Siehl Chair for Nursing Research -- the first chair of its kind in nursing nationally -- and the first endowed research chair at the University of Minnesota.

She received bachelor's and master's degrees from Wayne State University and a doctoral degree from the University of Washington.
