Description
The Rosemary Berkel Crisp Research Grant is offered by Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing to support nursing research in women's health, oncology, and pediatrics. It funds projects ready for implementation when support is received, with attention to the quality of the proposed research and its future potential. The appropriateness of the research budget and feasibility of the proposed time frame also guide funding decisions.
Support comes from interest on a gift from The Harry L. Crisp, II and Rosemary Berkel Crisp Foundation to the Sigma Foundation for Nursing's Research Endowment. The program awards one grant each year to advance research in these three critical nursing areas.
