Nursing Solutions Research Grant

The Center for Healthcare Delivery Science and Innovation (HDSI) sponsors an annual Nursing Solutions Research Grant. The Grant aims to foster research collaborations between UChicago Medicine and investigators at colleges of nursing, bringing new expertise and mentorship to UChicago Medicine to advance the delivery of patient care. Proposed projects should demonstrate the impact to delivering safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and/or equitable care and address the priorities of UChicago Medicine. Projects should focus on healthcare delivery science – the study of changes to how patient interventions are delivered and not the actual interventions. Inter-professional collaboration is highly encouraged. A UCM Nurse Scientist will act as the site Principal Investigator. The grant supports one-year research proposals with funding provided for salary, equipment/supplies, consultants or outside statistical support, and costs associated with dissemination. Limited data analysis support and project management support will be provided.
