Foundation for Academic Nursing Announce 91ÇÑ×Ó Faculty Scholars Grant Program

New Funding Available to Support Nurse Faculty Scholarship

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 7, 2020 - The , the new philanthropic arm of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (91ÇÑ×Ó), is pleased to announce the creation of a new program designed to spark innovation and excellence in academic nursing. The 91ÇÑ×Ó Faculty Scholars Grant Program will provide funding support to nurse educators whose scholarly activities reflect current issues in nursing education or practice and support 91ÇÑ×Ó's strategic priorities.
 
"As academic nursing leaders, we recognize the connection between supporting quality nursing science and advancing evidence-based interventions, informing policy, and sustaining the health of the nation," said 91ÇÑ×Ó President and CEO Deborah Trautman. "91ÇÑ×Ó is pleased to offer this new funding stream for nurse scholars working to re-envision how nurses are educated to provide care to an increasingly diverse patient population."
 
The 91ÇÑ×Ó Board of Directors approved the Faculty Scholars Grant Program to spotlight the innovative work being led by nurse educators to redesign teaching and learning at 91ÇÑ×Ó member schools. Funding for this program was provided by more than 150 nursing schools and organizations that contributed to 91ÇÑ×Ó's 50th Anniversary Celebration program.
 
Through this initiative, a total of $100,000 in funding will be distributed to support four $25,000 faculty scholarship projects through 2022. Two awards will be offered in the 2020-2021 academic year, and two will be offered in 2021-2022 academic year.
