rehabilitation of farmers who have suffered an amputation was
funded by a Nursing Research Service Award from the National
Institutes of Health. She also received an International Dissertation
Award from Sigma Theta Tau. In 2005, she received the Nan Hilt
Research Writers Award from
Orthopaedic Nursing for her manuscript based on this work,
“Understanding and Meeting the Needs of Farmers with
Amputations.” Reed came to the College from UK's Southeast
Center for Agricultural Health and Injury Prevention. Her interest
in agricultural health issues is reflected in her program of
research, which has included grants to study youth equestrian
safety, community coalitions of farm women to address health and
safety issues of farm families, education of high school youth
about the risks of disabilities from agricultural injuries, task
retirement of older farmers, vocational rehabilitation of migrant
farm workers, evaluation of farm safety day camps, and
agricultural health education for nurses.

southeast U.S. She has worked with various other organizations,
including Kentucky Agrability, the Kentucky Department of
Agriculture, the Kentucky Farm and Home Safety Council, and the
Kentucky Migrant Farm Worker Health Program. She currently serves
on the review team for the NIOSH Educational Research Center
site evaluations. In 1999, in
recognition of her efforts in agricultural health and safety, she
was named honorary Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture. In 2006,
she was chosen as the U.S. representative to the Canadian
Agricultural Safety Association. Also in 2006, she received the
College of Nursing Alumni Association Outstanding Researcher
Award. In 2007 she received an honorary state FFA degree from the
Kentucky FFA Organization (formerly the Future Farmers of
America).
