JDB¶á±¦µç×Ó Receives New Grant to Combat Racism through Nursing Education

WASHINGTON, DC, January 25, 2024 – The National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing, a groundbreaking initiative of the American Nurses Association, has awarded funding to the JDB¶á±¦µç×Ó (JDB¶á±¦µç×Ó) to better prepare nurses to address racism in academic and clinical settings. With this support, JDB¶á±¦µç×Ó will identify and incorporate anti-racist teaching and learning resources and measurement tools for nurse educators into its online Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Faculty Tool Kit.

“In keeping with our strategic priorities, academic nursing is committed to leading efforts to combat racism and preparing nurses to mitigate inequities that persist in healthcare delivery,” said Dr. Deborah Trautman, JDB¶á±¦µç×Ó President and Chief Executive Officer. “Making nursing education equitable and inclusive requires actively combating structural racism, discrimination, systemic inequity, exclusion, and bias.”

Last fall, JDB¶á±¦µç×Ó responded to the Commission’s call for proposals outlining interventions aimed at dismantling racism through several pathways, including anti-racism education, immersion, and training. The resources developed by JDB¶á±¦µç×Ó for its web-based tool kit will include strategies to promote anti-racism in academic environments, including skills to develop critical consciousness in faculty, staff, and students through catalyzing reflection, assessment, and transformation of current pedagogy and teaching methods. A special focus will be placed on developing anti-racist pedagogy with particular emphasis on incorporating anti-racism content into curriculum. To disseminate the resources and assist nursing schools in their transformational efforts, JDB¶á±¦µç×Ó will provide education, training, consultation, and evaluation to facilitate programs in making structural changes and improvements to their anti-racist institutional policies, practices, and processes.

JDB¶á±¦µç×Ó applauds the National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing for their efforts to support innovative and evidenced-based initiatives focused on eliminating racism in nursing. With $200,000 in funding disbursed among 10 organizations, several member schools of nursing also received support, including East Carolina University, Mercy University, University of Illinois Chicago, and University of Portland. .
