Attention Oncology Nurses: Grants available
The Oncology Nursing Foundation in Pittsburgh is offering $14,500 in grants and scholarships to oncology nurses who work in any type of care setting, including home care.
Both types of grants are being funded with the support of Rhone-Poulenc Rorer Pharmaceutical. The Oncology Nursing Foundation obtains funding for cancer nursing research and education to support its sister organization, the Oncology Nursing Society, also in Pittsburgh.
These are the awards the foundation is offering:
* Annual Congress scholarships. Six $1,000 scholarships are available to staff oncology nurses, to be used toward expenses at the Oncology Nursing Society's 1997 Annual Congress. The deadline for submissions is Dec. 1, 1996.
* Research grants. Two $4,250 grants are available for oncology nursing researchers who are new to research and who have received no previous research funding. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 1, 1996.
For application materials or other information, contact the Oncology Nursing Foundation: 501 Holiday Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15220. Telephone: (412) 921-7373.
The Oncology Nursing Foundation was established to support the mission of the Oncology Nursing Society by obtaining and providing funds for cancer nursing research and education. *
