Kleier has championed projects funded by MFRF including funding for nursing scholarships, education on genetic testing, high-fidelity simulation, and lecture series that focus on the latest treatments in genetic testing and how these advances will impact nursing care and focuses on the personal experiences of the parents of children with genetic disorders.
