Description
The Nursing Research Grants program, established by the American Nurses Association in 1955, funds innovative research projects that address high-priority issues in nursing practice, care delivery, and the profession. The program issues targeted calls for proposals at various times throughout the year (rather than a single annual RFP), and may also commission research on topics aligned with the ANA Enterprise strategic plan and the Foundation’s core interests. Grants are strategically larger and fewer than in previous years, with an emphasis on generating impactful, actionable research and building research capacity among nurse researchers, including fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
