Request
for Proposals
Due March 7, 2008
As in the past, the NLN’s research grants program
will support rigorous, high-quality studies that contribute
to the development of the science of nursing education.
The NLN is deeply committed to supporting beginning researchers
as well as accomplished nursing education scholars, and
encourages projects in which research mentors and protégés
partner to conduct a study. All Principal Investigators
must be current NLN members, either through their school
or through individual dues payment.
All studies must relate to one or more of the NLN’s
Priorities
for Research in Nursing Education. In
2008, priority will be given to studies that focus on the
category of “Innovations in Nursing Education: Creating
Reform,” particularly those that address innovations
in clinical teaching and evaluation of clinical performance.
In addition, priority will be given to projects involving
multi-site data collection and those addressing
the diversity of student populations.
Award amounts will vary with the nature of the study proposed.
Past grants have averaged $5,000 each, and none have exceeded
$20,000, which is the maximum amount of an award.
The complete proposal must be submitted electronically
no later than 5:00 p.m. (EST) on March 7, 2008
to Victoria Kaminsky (Vkaminsky@nln.org).
Incomplete proposals or proposals
submitted after this date/time will not be accepted for
review.
NOTE: A proposal
will be considered to be complete only if all of the following
components are included and all are submitted simultaneously:
Demographic Data
Form
