With regret, the American Nurses Foundation is suspending its 2020 Nursing Research Grant Program at this time. The current uncertainty and unprecedented challenges facing all sectors of the nursing profession during this global healthcare crisis mandate this pause.
We will re-evaluate this decision by August 1, 2020. No new applications can be accepted at the present time. Any applications in progress that are currently in the on-line system will be held and will be available for updating and completion if and when we are able to re-open the grant program this year.
We apologize for any inconvenience this suspension may cause and are hopeful that we will have the resources and time necessary to reopen the program later this year.

The purpose of the American Nurses Foundation (Foundation) Nursing Research Grants (NRG) Program is to encourage the research career development of all nurses. Each year, through our NRG Program, the Foundation provides funds to beginning and experienced nurse researchers to conduct studies that contribute to the advancement of nursing science and the enhancement of patient outcomes. Many past grant recipients have gone on to receive subsequent funding and expanded their programs of research based on findings from their Foundation funded studies. Applicants should apply to the category that best fits the proposal topic. The categories are listed below. Specific grants may be combined for one larger award. For example, a researcher with a study on the health of older female African American nurses who are HIV position could combine:
For a maximum of $60,000. Our goal is to fund the very best grants that have greater impact. While this combines several grants and funds, only one application fee of $100 is required. Please consider the following list of available grants and any restrictions or focus areas within. In alignment with the Foundation's strategic priorities, the Foundation is accepting applications in 10 strategic areas:
