What role do grants play in nursing research and education?
Grants are essential for advancing nursing research and education. Research grants enable nursing faculty and students to engage in studies that can improve patient care, inform policy, and contribute to the body of nursing knowledge. Educational grants can fund curriculum development, faculty training, and innovative teaching methods. These grants often come from federal sources like the NIH or private foundations such as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. By securing grants, nursing programs can stay at the forefront of healthcare innovation and education.
