Description
The Oncology Nursing Foundation’s ONF Implementation Grant is a pilot funding opportunity supporting the integration of nurse-generated research into clinical practice to improve outcomes for people with cancer. It funds collaborative nursing teams studying how to adopt, implement, and sustain existing evidence-based interventions that are not consistently used. The emphasis is on implementation processes, barriers, facilitators, and strategies that can be replicated across healthcare settings.
Competitive proposals use an implementation science framework to test adoption strategies, addressing fidelity, feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability. Topics include symptom screening and management, electronic patient-reported symptom monitoring, healthy workplaces, medication adherence, survivorship care planning, palliative care referral, oncology navigation, health equity and social determinant screening, financial toxicity screening, and telehealth. The initiative also explores how complementary nursing roles and collaborative leadership advance evidence-based practice.
