Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine supports established fellowship programs that strengthen oncology nursing and oncology nurse navigation. The funding emphasizes care coordination, readiness for advanced therapies, health equity, measurable outcomes, and scalable practice improvement. Programs should prepare nurses and nurse navigators for emerging complexities in cancer management, improve access to evolving therapies, and support patient-centered care across community and academic oncology settings.
Fellowships combine education, experiential learning, and mentorship to develop clinical expertise, leadership, care navigation proficiency, and multidisciplinary collaboration. The initiative aims to strengthen the oncology nursing workforce, particularly in regions facing workforce challenges. Selected institutions should demonstrate a robust commitment to clinical practice, research, and education, including advancing knowledge in hematology.
