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 MNRS’s grant opportunities for nurse researchers to advance their work and contribute to nursing science, supported through donors to its Foundation Council.
The grant was established through a bequest from the estate of Dr. Joseph and Jean Buckwalter to their son and daughter-in-law, Jody and Kitty Buckwalter. Funding supports expenses essential to conducting the proposed research rather than educational assistance, dissertation preparation, or conference participation. The MNRS Grants Committee reviews proposals and recommends funding to the society’s Board of Directors.
