Who is conducting the Nun Study?
The Nun Study is a collaborative effort between the University of Kentucky and the School Sisters of Notre Dame congregation. Scientists from other universities also are actively collaborating with this study (e.g., University of South Florida, University of Kansas, Medical College of Wisconsin, Duke University, Emory University and Louisiana State University). In addition to many scientists and technicians, many leaders and health care providers of the School Sisters of Notre Dame congregation have made vital contributions to this study during the last ten years. Two Notre Dames, Sisters Gabriel Mary Spaeth and Marlene Manney, have devoted more than five years of full-time effort to the Nun Study.
