THE NNF is once again accepting applications for project grants. The grants are designed to provide funding to NNA members for evidence-based practice, quality improvement or innovation projects conducted within clinical nursing or education settings. As facilities continue to emerge from the pandemic and staffing challenges, we are hoping that NNA members will consider applying. Projects that will benefit 25 or more persons and cost less than $1000 could be eligible. Previous approved projects include:

• A community health system purchased wound care mannikins to teach EBP wound care elements to over 2500 nurses and students in the first year.
• Aromatherapy for residents, staff and family members at a long-term care and rehabilitation facility to reduce stress and anxiety.
• Enhancement to a staff break room with new appliances and seating to provide a space for staff rejuvenation and wellness promotion away from patient care.
• Provision of a large-screen television for video conferencing, team education and meeting communication.
• Support for an advanced practice nursing education genomics curriculum within a Nebraska-based, accredited nursing program.
• The acceptance deadline for applications to fund 2024 calendar year grants is December 1, 2024.
