Description
The AACN Impact Research Grant is designed to support nurse-driven research that addresses gaps in high-acuity and critical care nursing. Funded by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), this grant aims to generate new knowledge through systematic inquiry, ultimately informing evidence-based practice and improving patient outcomes in critical care settings. Projects should align with AACN’s research priorities, such as technology use, symptom management, healthy work environments, and the optimal contribution of critical care nurses.
