Consistent with its mission, the Marian K. Shaughnessy Nurse Leadership Academy is announcing a small grants program to support the development of leadership projects within the School of Nursing. We are soliciting proposals for leadership projects that demonstrate the impact of nursing leadership within clinical practice, education, or in the community. Leadership in this context refers to recognizing an opportunity within the school, the university, a healthcare system, or the community, identifying the opportunity with the relevant stakeholders, and proposing and implementing solutions that contribute to positive change. The project should be related to the School of Nursing's strategic plan, and the description of the projects' structure should align with School leadership.

Eligibility: Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing School of Nursing student groups (undergraduate and graduate), individual students enrolled in any of the School of Nursing academic programs, faculty/staff at all levels, and School alumni are eligible to apply. At least one award will be awarded to each of the student, faculty/staff, and alumni applications that are received.
