Description
The Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS) offers this dissertation grant to support the research development of budding scholars in the Midwest Region, especially those interested in chronic illness and mental health. It is part of the society’s broader grants program for nurse researchers, sustained by donors to the Foundation Council.
The grant supports expenses essential to conducting dissertation research rather than educational assistance or conference participation. Eligible research costs include research assistants, supplies, study-related travel, and participant incentives. The award was made possible through a bequest from the estate of Dr. Joseph and Jean Buckwalter to their son and daughter-in-law, Jody and Kitty Buckwalter.
