The American Association for the History of Nursing (AAHN) offers the H-31 Pre-Doctoral Research Grant to encourage graduate training and historical research at the Master's and research Doctoral levels. The program supports studies addressing significant questions in nursing history and contributing to the field's scholarship.
Proposals should present a clear central thesis or research question, explain the study's significance, and show how it recasts existing scholarly literature. Reviewers consider the suitability and innovative aspects of the research approach, the primary and secondary sources central to the study, and the resources available to support it. The AAHN Research Grant Review Panel also assesses the student's preparation and the advisor's qualifications to guide historical research.
