Nursing Initiative Coordinating Center and Scholar Stipends Renewal

Grant Summary

The American Academy of Nursing will use this renewal grant to strengthen the academic geriatric nursing community in increasing its capacity to care for the growing population of older adults. This award will allow the Academy to continue coordination of the Foundation's Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity (BAGNC) initiative and support at least 26 doctoral and post-doctoral scholars and up to two nurses pursuing business degrees. The overall initiative uses multiple strategies to address the nation's critical shortage of leaders in geriatric nursing research and education.
