Jeana Holt, PhD, DNP, RN, FNP-BC, APNP

Dr. Holt’s extensive clinical experience as a community-based family nurse practitioner inspired her to develop a research program to understand the complex relationships between social and structural determinants of health. At the community and system level, Dr. Holt co-develops, tests, and evaluates interventions that address social and structural determinants using discovery, implementation science, and community-based participatory research. She uses human-centered design (HCD) methodologies to develop and evaluate creative innovation and entrepreneurship models with people living with autism. She also co-develops and evaluates HCD interventions that empower graduate nursing students to influence system change by incorporating HCD methodologies into the graduate nursing curriculum.

Highlights of Dr. Holt’s research include:

• National Endowment of the Arts, ABLE: Autism Brilliance Lab for Entrepreneurship, Co-PI. Holt partners with the non-profit organization, Islands of Brilliance, to examine how creativity in art and design serves as a vehicle for preparing populations on the spectrum for the workforce.
• VentureWell™, Empowering Nurse Innovators and Entrepreneurs: A Cross-Curricular Program, PI. Dr. Holt integrates and evaluates experiential innovation and entrepreneurship learning into the existing nursing graduate curriculum to bridge the gap between nursing ‘MacGyver-ing’ their way through a shift to being trained in skills that support moving an innovative concept to validating a solution.
  • VentureWell OPEN 2023 National Conference, Best Teaching Toolkit for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
• Community- and Academic-based dissemination of predictive analytics, statistics, and modeling techniques to predict future maternal and infant outcomes. Co-design solutions with community members to address maternal and infant outcome disparities.
• Midwestern Nursing Research Society Leadership Academy and Kellner Entrepreneurship
