ATHENS, Ohio (November 21, 2000) -- Ohio University's College of Health and Human Services has named Brooke Hallowell associate dean of research and sponsored programs.

As associate dean, Hallowell is responsible for facilitating faculty efforts in securing extramural funding and helping faculty develop their research agendas. She will help the college's faculty foster research productivity and quality, increase competitiveness for external and internal grants and contracts, and integrate education and service with research.
