Oncology Nursing Society Foundation Breast Cancer Research Grant
Supported by the ONS Foundation through an unrestricted grant from Susan G. Komen for the Cure®
Letters of Intent due: November 15, 2010
Online Applications due: December 15, 2010
Purpose: A major goal of the ONS Foundation is to provide funding to support the ONS Research Agenda. The agenda’s focus is on areas where gaps exist in the knowledge base for oncology nursing practice. Applications are invited for breast cancer grant proposals that address high-priority topic areas identified by the 2009 – 2013 ONS Research Agenda.
Only proposals addressing breast cancer will be considered for funding. The 2009–2013 ONS Research Agenda identifies critical areas where research is needed to advance the science and practice of oncology nursing.
Award: One $60,000 grant award with a funding period of up to two years with NO “no-cost” extensions possible. Funding will be distributed for each year of the grant – up to $30,000 for year one and up to $30,000 for year two. Please submit your detailed budget for each year. First year funding will be available by February 2011.
Eligibility: The principal investigator must be actively involved in some aspect of cancer patient care, education, or research. Funding preference is given to projects that involve nurses in the design and conduct of the research activity. Membership in ONS is not required for eligibility. ONS Foundation encourages advanced practice nurse (APN) and researcher partnerships. For an APN PI to be considered for funding the research team must include both an APN and researcher.
