Description
The Quality Improvement (QI) Grant, provided by the Rehabilitation Nursing Foundation (RNF) through the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses (ARN), funds projects that use evidence-based quality improvement methods—such as Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles—to drive measurable improvements in rehabilitation nursing practice. The grant is intended to support practical, implementable changes that directly enhance care quality, patient safety, and outcomes for individuals with disabilities or chronic illnesses in rehabilitation settings. Projects must align with ARN’s Research Agenda and demonstrate potential for system change within an organization.
