J. Patrick Barnes Grants for Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice Projects Patrick was a very inquisitive person by nature. He loved to collect information, and you never knew when or how he would use it constructively in a discussion. (Not to mention the fact that he was a whiz at Trivial Pursuit!) So it is fitting in his memory to support nurses in the clinical application of their own inquisitiveness to benefit patient care. PROGRAM GOALS For the Foundation: Funding research and evidence-based practice projects links our yearning to impact treatment of patients with auto-immune diseases and cancer and our passion for the compassionate work nurses do in medical facilities all over the country. For Nurses: This program provides support for nurses who Continually evaluate their practice Seek answers to clinical questions in an effort to improve their practice Change their practice based on evidence and evaluation of that change For Patients With Auto-Immune Diseases and Cancer: Nurses will improve care outcomes as a result of their findings! GENERAL GUIDELINES To be eligible, you must be a registered nurse with a current license Applicants should be ready to implement their projects immediately following funding from The DAISY Foundation. Only projects approved by your IRB or which have been exempted in writing by your IRB will be considered. A copy of your IRB approval will be required prior to our funding your grant.

PROJECT FOCUS Research must impact patients or family members of patients with an auto-immune disease or cancer. Studies that will benefit patients both within and outside of your institution will receive priority. If your study's demographics do not include a significant percentage of patients with an auto-immune disease or cancer, it will not qualify.

The Project Leader/Team Leader must be a nurse who is currently employed or formally affiliated with a clinical setting with direct patient care involvement. A Project Mentor is strongly recommended for each EBP grant application. We encourage Applicants to find a Mentor in your own institution, nearby school of nursing, or community.
