Biography

Nonniekaye Shelburne, CRNP, MS, AOCN, is a program director in the Epidemiology and Genomics Research Program's (EGRP) Clinical and Translational Epidemiology Branch (CTEB). Her research portfolio focuses on improving outcomes for cancer survivors through risk identification and mitigation and management strategies for early and late-onset adverse events related to cancer and cancer treatment.

Ms. Shelburne oversees multiple Programmatic research initiatives across cancer survivorship, with special focus on:

Before joining EGRP in 2010, Ms. Shelburne worked as an acute care nurse practitioner and oncology clinical nurse specialist with the Hematology/Oncology/Stem Cell Transplant Program of Care at the NIH Clinical Center. Her focus was on improving the clinical and research outcomes of patients in phase I and II clinical trials for cancer and hematological disorders.
