Description
The Sigma/National League for Nursing (NLN) Grant supports research that advances the science of nursing education and learning through technology in the dissemination of knowledge. Offered by Sigma and NLN, it supports one nurse researcher or doctoral dissertation student annually. Funding comes from Dr. Diane Billings’s gift to the Sigma Foundation for Nursing’s research endowment and is administered by Sigma.
Proposed studies must connect technology-based knowledge dissemination with one or more NLN Research Priorities in Nursing Education 2024–2027. These priorities link nursing education with the science of learning, building evidence to guide educators in preparing nurses who deliver excellent health care.
