Foundation for Academic Nursing Grants & Endowments

Faculty Scholars Grant Program

AACN will fund two $25,000 grants for pilot studies to measure student outcomes using emerging technologies in nursing education. Recognizing the rapidly changing environment for both didactic and clinical education, AACN seeks applications focused on the implementation of innovative technologies in nursing education and how they impact student academic success at either the undergraduate or graduate level. During the grant period, faculty will investigate how tools, including simulation platforms, artificial intelligence, and other advancing technologies, can be meaningfully incorporated into nursing education to enhance the quality and effectiveness of instruction.

Applications are now open.
