Research grants applicants eligible for additional funding through the Canadian Nurses Foundation
The CRHP is currently partnering with the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF) to increase the funding dollars available to research grants recipients.
Through the Nursing Care Partnership program (made possible by a grant from the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation), the CNF provides operating grants for research projects on nursing care issues. Research must address at least some of the NCP priorities:
- 1. Supporting research that takes place in "clinical" settings—where nurses provide care—including non-acute settings, e.g. in the community.
- 2. Supporting research that involves novice researchers.
- 3. Supporting research teams that are interdisciplinary.
Additional requirement for grant applicants whose team includes nurses:
If the Principal Investigator, Co-PI or any of the Co-Investigators on your project is a Registered Nurse you are strongly encouraged to complete the CNF Nursing Care Partnership Data Collection Sheet.
You may visit the Canadian Nurses Foundation website for additional information about the Nursing Care Partnership Program.
