Association of Operating Room Nurses Foundation Research Grant Program
PURPOSE: To support the development of nurse researchers and to contribute to the scientific knowledge of perioperative nursing practice.
DEADLINE: June 1, November 1, and February 1
SUMMARY: AORN offers a multi-level research grant program, that recognizes research skills are developed through education and experience. Nurses interested in conducting research develop their expertise as they progress through professional nursing educational programs; research opportunities that are commensurate with their education are supported through the AORN Research Grant Program. This multi-level trajectory has been established to provide research opportunities for various levels of expertise. Priority for grant funds is given to AORN members.
The AORN Research Grant Program also provides funding opportunities for chapters, specialty assemblies, state councils and others engaged in collaborative research projects. Again, recognizing that chapters, specialty assemblies or state councils may have various levels of expertise among their members, funding is available for projects that represent the spectrum of research interests, from individual chapter projects to multi-site collaborative investigations.
