Nursing Education Research

Request for Proposals

Due February 17, 2010

The NLN’s research grants program 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 2010, priority will be given to studies that focus on the category of “ Evaluation Research in Nursing Education: Evaluating Reform.” More specifically, priority will be given to projects dealing with implementation strategies and/or studies evaluating the success of strategies for ensuring a diverse student population.

Award amounts will vary with the nature of the study proposed. Past grants have averaged $5,000 each, and none have exceeded $20,000.

The proposal must be submitted electronically as a Microsoft Word document no later than 4:00 p.m. (EST) on February 17, 2010 to research@nln.org. Please review the Q&A document for additional directives. Incomplete proposals or proposals submitted after this date/time will not be accepted for review.
