Psychology Professor Receives two Awards at Faculty Reception

Professor Jeff Kibler, Ph.D., recently received the College of Psychology Professor of the Year Award and President’s Distinguished Professor Award at the 18th Annual Faculty Reception.

In 2018, Kibler participated in a National Institutes of Health (NIH) panel on “The Cardiovascular Consequences of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.” The panel included experts on neuroscience, cardiovascular disease, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The panel identified research gaps and made recommendations on research priorities.

Kibler’s research has received over $1.4 million in funding from the NIH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as other agencies. Kibler has co-authored multiple articles and book chapters with students and serves as director of the Psychology Services Center’s Biofeedback and Health Psychology Center.

At NSU, Kibler has also been involved with various boards and panels, including the President’s Faculty Research and Development Grant, the Academic Review Committee, the Faculty Advisory Council, and the University Research Board.

“I was grateful to receive the President’s Distinguished Professor Award,” Kibler said. “Given my interests in faculty development and dedication to enhancing success in scientific research at NSU, receiving this university recognition for my scientific accomplishments was a nice reminder of how much our extra efforts are valued.”
