Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Invites Brief Proposals for Evaluation Innovations in Nursing Education Program

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Evaluating Innovations in Nursing Education program is inviting applications for research projects that study nursing faculty issues which are critical to achieving the recommendations outlined in the 2010 Institute of Medicine report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.

Consistent with EIN's mission, projects typically will address teaching productivity and faculty preparation in nursing education for meeting the demands of a reformed healthcare and public health system. Findings should inform strategies for addressing the nurse faculty shortage while expanding the nurse workforce and maintaining or improving student outcomes.

The program welcomes applications that draw on the expertise of researchers from nursing and other health sciences, the social sciences, and other relevant disciplines.

Eligible applicant organizations include academic institutions, healthcare organizations, and research firms. Preference will be given to applicants that are either public entities or nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations. Researchers working on the proposed project must be citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. or its territories.

A total of up to $1.8 million in grants will be awarded in this round of funding. Grants of up to $100,000 might support case studies, scans of existing programs, or determinants of best practices. Grants of up to $300,000 might support survey research or controlled evaluations. All grants will be twenty-four months in duration or shorter.

The program will hold an optional applicant webinar on October 6, 2011. Registration is required.

The complete Call for Proposals, application materials, and applicant Webinar details are available at the RWJF Web site.
