About Research Seed Grants

The AONE Institute offers seed grants for research to AONE members.  Between 2003 and 2007, the Institute awarded $72,800 in seed grant funds to AONE members doing research in the areas of workforce development, patient safety, cultural competence, and nurse manager leadership development. Applications for 2008 Seed Grants are no longer being accepted.

In 2002, the Institute launched a research seed grant program to aid the effort of AONE members pursuing research projects in the area of nursing leadership and administration. Applications are available in the fall on the AONE website and announced in E-News Update and Voice of Nursing Leadership™. Research projects should support AONE's Strategic Plan and research priorities, and awardees are asked to report on the progress of their research to the AONE Institute and the membership at large.

“As a model of professional development, we hope to advance the leadership of evidence-based practice and understand what approaches and interventions will shape new practice cultures for the future. Building leadership’s commitment and capacity to advance the use of evidence in the care of patients is essential in our next steps. We appreciate the grant support to measure the impact of this model of development for leadership for evidence-based practice.”

“Despite a plethora of protective and prevention strategies, nurses have largely been unable to decrease the frequency or severity of patient falls. The seed grant provided by AONE will enable us to study falls prevention risk screening using a Failure-Effects-Mode-Analysis methodology. We also know that nurses do not practice in a vacuum in our large, complex hospital systems, so we will also be examining ways to foster interdisciplinary collaboration in our efforts to avert patient injury and falls during hospitalization.”
