ICU research grant, award available to nurses
The Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) is offering a grant of up to $15,000 to help fund critical care nursing research. SCCM, which represents mostly physicians but also has nurse members, is offering the funding through its Norma J. Shoemaker Critical Care Nursing Research Grant.
Named after SCCM’s founding executive director, the one-year grant is designed to help support research studies into effective nursing strategies in an area of critical care medicine. Applicants must be members of SCCM in good standing for at least two years and must have attended at least one SCCM Educational and Scientific Symposium within the last three years.
Research submitted for funding consideration must demonstrate a multidisciplinary approach to the study of critical care medicine, according to SCCM, which is based in Anaheim, CA. The grant will be awarded through a competitive process.
Each year, the group also selects a recipient for its Norma J. Shoemaker Award for Critical Care Nursing Excellence to a member "who demonstrates excellence in clinical practice, education, or administration." The award includes a $1,000 prize plus registration, air fare, and hotel expenses to attend an SCCM symposium. Grant and award applications must be received by Sept. 1, 1999.
