National League for Nursing - Nursing Education Research
Background and History
Evidence-based education and evidence-based practice are rapidly becoming the gold standard for nursing regulatory and nursing accrediting agencies. The NLN maintains its leadership role by establishing nursing education research as the foundation for building the science of nursing education, facilitating and funding research in this area, and developing novices to become expert researchers.
In the early 1980s, the NLN created the Council for Research in
Nursing Education and made a commitment to provide funds to support small investigator
research projects.The funds were reallocated in 2000. Since then, the level
of support has continuously grown, from an initial $12,000 to $70,000. In this
decade the NLN has funded over ½ million dollars in Nursing Education
Research.
Current Program Objectives
Among the NLN’s current objectives is to support multi-site
projects that are relevant to the NLN’s Priorities for Research in
Nursing Education. In addition, we are encouraging applications for
projects that will be implemented through partnerships between established researchers
and beginning researchers who will be mentored throughout the process.
The NLN is proud to support nursing education research and to provide leadership in the ongoing development of the science of nursing education. We look forward to your participation in this initiative.
