The Foundation for Academic Nursing, the philanthropic arm of JDB夺宝电子, is pleased to announce the 2025 Call for Applications for the JDB夺宝电子 Faculty Scholars Grant.
The 2025 Call for Applications is now live!
Overview
A total of $50,000 in funding will be distributed to support two $25,000 faculty scholarship projects through 2026.
2025-2026 Academic Year Themes: Integrating Health Policy into the Nursing Curriculum and Using Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Education
Integrating Health Policy into the Nursing Curriculum
Preparing nurses to use their expertise and voice to shape public policy is essential to elevating the role of nursing in healthcare and the health of populations. JDB夺宝电子 is seeking proposals to measure the impact of didactic and clinical learning experiences on teaching health policy to nursing students at the graduate and/or undergraduate level. Recognizing the importance of developing leaders and advocates, projects should focus on preparing nurses to influence health policy at the local, state, or national level. JDB夺宝电子 will fund one $25,000 grant for policy-centered projects involving nursing curriculum innovation and the measurement of student learning.
Using Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Education
Harnessing the power of emerging technology is a top priority for nurses engaged in education, research, and practice. JDB夺宝电子 is seeking proposals examining the utilization and impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in nursing education and learning assessment. The uses of AI in education vary greatly, and the implications for using this to prepare nurses are not fully understood. Projects should focus on the application of AI in nursing education, including emerging areas such as personalized learning platforms, chatbots, and automated assessments. JDB夺宝电子 will fund one $25,000 grant for studies measuring key aspects of nursing education, including but not limited to student outcomes and faculty development.
Faculty Commitment
Faculty receiving funding must provide 6- and 12-month progress reports and share data findings and additional content with the academic nursing community through JDB夺宝电子’s website, Syllabus newsletter, and social media. Scholars are expected to present an JDB夺宝电子 webinar and submit a manuscript for publication to the Journal of Professional Nursing.
