Research Grant--Holistic Nursing

Research Grants are available to AHNA members who are conducting research on topics related to holistic nursing and have been members of AHNA for at least one year.

Please note that research grant awards are not given to those completing doctoral dissertations or masters research projects. Persons conducting research as a requirement for a graduate degree are encouraged to apply to the Charlotte McGuire Scholarship Program to support their work.

Application Procedures

Applicants for the grant must submit a research proposal (5-8 pages) that includes:

1. Statement of the research problem and/or questions
2. Background information, including relevance to holistic nursing
3. Methodology and proposed analysis
4. Provision for the protection of human subjects
5. Plans for research development
6. Budget
7. Five copies of the research proposal, cover letter, and curriculum vitae

Complete grant applications must be submitted to AHNA National Office via email or regular mail by March 15 of the year the grant is awarded.

Please read the Guidelines section before submitting your application.

Selection Process

Grants are competitive and are awarded through the AHNA Research Committee. All applications and proposals are reviewed by the AHNA Research Committee members or designees of the subcommittee chair for grants who is appointed by the coordinator for research and the Leadership Council of AHNA.

Grant Awards

The amount of the award will vary from year to year. This award is supported by individual and group donations through AHNA’s Research Fund.

Those receiving the AHNA research grant funds are required to submit a progress report on an annual basis with a final report at the conclusion of the study. Recipients are encouraged to attend the national AHNA conference to receive their awards. Winners are also encouraged to attend a subsequent conference to present their research findings, and are encouraged to publish the results of their work.
