RESEARCH & evidenced-based practice GRANT CAMP
TSNRP Grant Camp is designed for novice nurse scientists and graduate (master's and doctoral) nursing students who plan to submit a research or Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) grant application in response to a TSNRP Funding Opportunity Announcement. Grant Camp features a modest amount of didactic content about grantsmanship and a substantial time during which attendees apply the didactic content to continue writing their application on the appropriate grant application forms. Attendees receive faculty feedback regarding their grant applications throughout the course. The goal of Grant Camp is for attendees to produce a scientifically sound research or EBP grant application on a topic that aligns with TSNRP research priorities.
Attendees must be prepared to spend a significant amount of time, both before and during the course, preparing and writing their grant applications. Given the emphasis on grantsmanship, attendees are expected to arrive with a robust knowledge of the topic they have chosen, the research or EBP process, research/EBP design and methods, relevant variables and measures, and data analysis. Graduate students should have completed some methodology and statistics classes and, ideally, have selected at least the chairperson of their thesis or dissertation committee. Note: Students applying to attend must complete a proposal outline and provide a letter of support from a commander, chief nurse, or dissertation/thesis chairperson. Mini-EBP applicants are not permitted to attend Grant Camp.
DATE
This course is offered each year in mid-July.
Grant Camp is scheduled for July 15-18, 2024.
