Description
The ENA Foundation Research Grants, provided by the Emergency Nurses Association, are designed to foster and support research that advances evidence-based emergency nursing practice. The program offers a variety of grant opportunities for emergency nurses and nursing students, from early-career projects to large-scale, innovative research initiatives. The goal is to improve outcomes for patients, families, communities, and health care systems by empowering researchers to bridge gaps between knowledge and practice, influence health policy, and enhance direct patient care in emergency settings. Special opportunities exist for underrepresented groups and first-time researchers through programs like the ENDVR Fellowship.
