The current healthcare and nursing workforce crisis, brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, has highlighted the need for new and innovative approaches to addressing issues that face the nursing profession. To that end, ONF is launching a grant program to support innovative nursing research, quality improvement programs, and practice change initiatives.
Deadlines and Process:
- Applications are reviewed at the regular ONF Board meetings

Types of Awards:
