Dr. Carolyn Still is an Assistant Professor at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University. She received her BSN (02’) and MSN (06’) from Florida A&M University and completed her PhD (10’) and Business (16’) degrees from Case Western Reserve University. She is board certified, as an Adult /Geriatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, and practices in the Cleveland Brain Health and Memory Center at University Hospitals of Cleveland.

As a clinician and nurse scientist, improving cardiovascular health in minority populations has been the focus of her clinical practice and research. Dr. Still’s research expertise includes hypertension clinical trials in older populations, psychosocial assessment and management of chronic diseases in older adults, and recruitment and retention of minorities in clinical trials. She has over 13 years of experience managing coordinating centers and conducting quality assurance monitoring for multi-site clinical trials, as well as experience in leading and conducting multidisciplinary clinical trials. Dr. Still served as co-Investigator and program director for the NIH-sponsored SPRINT trial; a 2-arm, multicenter, RCT, testing treatment of systolic BP to a lower goal (<120 mmHg) to reduce cardiovascular disease risk at 102 clinics across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.

Dr. Still was recently awarded an NIH Multiple PI R01 for targeting secondary stroke-risk reduction in African American men at high risk for recurrent stroke. This body of work has amassed nearly $2.9 million in external funding. Dr. Still has extensively published in the area of health disparities, minority health, and hypertension clinical and outcome trials, having a significant impact on practice and policy. She has received several awards for this work, including an early career award by the American Heart Association.

Ms. Crump is a South Florida native, but has been in Tallahassee, FL for the last 20 years. She is a two-time graduate of Florida A&M University with a Master’s in Social Work. Throughout her career she has served in various positions helping children and families in need and cultivating the local community.

The School of Nursing is launching our very first fundraising initiative to support pinning (undergraduate) and white coat (graduate) ceremonies for graduating students. Our goal is to assist students with the fees associated with pinning and white coat ceremonies. These ceremonies are time-honored traditional in the profession and at FAMU School of Nursing. Due to financial constraints, students are opting to forego participation in these rites of passage.
