Description
The Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS), supported by donors to its Foundation Council, offers Post-Dissertation Grants to nurse researchers in the Midwest who have completed their doctoral degree and are in the postdoctoral phase or beyond. The program aims to advance independent programs of research and contribute to the growth of nursing science and practice.
The grants support quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods studies on any topic relevant to nursing science. Funding is directed toward expenses essential to conducting the proposed study, rather than educational assistance or conference participation. The MNRS Grants Committee reviews applications and recommends funding to the society’s Board of Directors.
