September 16, 2021- The American Nurses Foundation is receiving applications for their Reimagining Nursing Initiative. 

The RN Initiative will grant $15 million to up to 11 innovative pilot programs that address one or more of the following:

•  Practice-Ready Nurse Graduates supports innovations in competency validation and clinical preceptorship that ensure newly graduated nurses can immediately contribute to and succeed in a continuously transforming health delivery system.
• Technology-Enabled Nursing Practice supports the design and implementation of technology-based tactics and tools that meaningfully enhance the practice of nursing.
• Direct-Reimbursement Nursing Models expands nursing practice opportunities and elevates the value of nursing through direct reimbursement for nursing care delivery, management, and coordination outcomes.

The Foundation has prepared the attached toolkit with content and graphics that you can easily adapt to communicate this opportunity to your membership through social media, newsletter, website, and any other available communications channels.

Register here to connect with Foundation staff on Thursday, September 16 from 4:00-4:30pm ET to hear more about the RN Initiative, review the toolkit, and answer your questions.
