The level of funding for nursing education research remains frustratingly low, and new and expanded sources are urgently needed, says the National League for Nursing (NLN) in a new analysis of its own grant program for nursing education research published in the most recent edition of in NLN's Nursing Education Perspectives.
"The level of funding for nursing education research remains frustratingly low, and new and expanded sources are urgently needed," the author's say.
These are among the conclusions in "Advancing Nursing Education Science: An Analysis of the NLN's Grant Program, 2008-2010," the NLN's respected peer-reviewed research journal. While the NLN is among the few supporters of research in nursing education, authors noted, the commitment to scholarship is critical if the future nursing workforce is to be adequately prepared to safeguard patient care in a complex, dynamic health care environment.
The study, "Advancing Nursing Education Science: An Analysis of the NLN's Grant Program, 2008-2010," was co-authored by Joanne R. Duffy, PhD, RN, FAAN, a professor at Indiana University School of Nursing in Indianapolis and immediate past chair of the NLN's Nursing Education Research Advisory Council (NERAC), the panel that oversees and awards the grants; NERAC's current chair, Marilyn Frenn, PhD, RN, CNE, ANEF, an associate professor at Marquette University in Milwaukee; and Barbara Patterson, PhD, RN, a professor at Widner University School of Nursing in Chester, Pennsylvania who sits on NERAC.
