Description
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Doctoral Student Grant supports scientific research projects related to nursing regulation and policy. It provides doctoral students with funding for the research process, including data collection, processing and statistical analysis, consultant services, and the reproduction or distribution of surveys and other research tools.
Support also extends to travel to research study sites and dissemination of findings, such as conference presentations, subject to expense limits. The program focuses on direct research costs rather than educational or institutional overhead expenses. Proposed studies should use a scientific framework, explain their research design and statistical analysis, and produce findings generalizable beyond a small or specialized group.
