Northern Michigan University Interim President Kerri Schuiling and her Tennessee-based colleague Francie Likis—both nurse practitioners and midwives—have received an "American Journal of Nursing" (AJN) Book of the Year Award for their co-edited text, "Gynecologic Health Care: With an Introduction to Prenatal and Postpartum Care." The book received second place in the adult primary care category.

Northern Michigan University's College of Graduate Studies and Research has selected three students to receive the 2021-2022 Charles C. Spooner Grant Awards to support their scholarly research. Each will be awarded $500. 

NMU Native American Studies Professor Martin Reinhardt is featured in the most recent "American Diagnosis" podcast episode titled "Reclaiming Native Food Traditions to Nourish Indigenous People." Through his previous Decolonizing Diet Project at NMU, Reinhardt had found that traditional foods can significantly improve the health of Native American people prone to diabetes and other chronic illnesses.
