The Research Development Course introduces the research process to military nurses who are interested in research but need education and mentoring on identifying a research question or planning a research study. The target audience of this course is nurses with limited or no research experience or training who are interested in research; novice nurse scientists with some experience but who have not submitted a grant application; and nurses who have submitted a grant application that needs further development.
Research Grant Camp is designed for novice nurse scientists and graduate (master's and doctoral) nursing students who plan to submit a research grant application in response to a TSNRP Call for Proposals. Research Grant Camp features 1) a modest amount of didactic content about grantsmanship, 2) substantial time during which attendees apply the didactic content to continue writing their application on the appropriate grant application forms, and 3) faculty feedback to attendees throughout the course regarding the grant application. Attendees must be prepared to spend a significant amount of time, both before and during Research Grant Camp, preparing and writing their grant application. Given the emphasis on grantsmanship, attendees are expected to arrive with a robust knowledge of the topic they have chosen, the research process, research design and methods, relevant variables and measures, and data analysis. Graduate students should have completed some research, methods, and statistics classes, and, ideally, have selected at least the chairperson of their thesis or dissertation committee. The goal of Research Grant Camp is for attendees to produce a scientifically sound research grant application on a topic that aligns with a research priority of TSNRP, and, if applicable, is acceptable to the chairperson of a doctoral student's thesis or dissertation committee.
Evidence-Based Practice Grant Camp is designed for novice advanced practice nurses, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) nursing students, and novice nurse scientists who plan to submit an EBP grant application in response to a TSNRP Call for Proposals. Attendees must be prepared to spend a significant amount of time, both before and during EBP Grant Camp, preparing and writing their grant application. Given the emphasis on grantsmanship, attendees are expected to arrive with a robust knowledge of the topic they have chosen, models of EBP, EBP project design and methods, relevant variables and measures, and data analysis. DNP students should have completed some EBP-specific classes, and, ideally, have selected at least the chairperson of their capstone, or equivalent, committee. The goal of EBP Grant Camp is for attendees to produce a scientifically sound EBP grant application on a topic that aligns with a research priority of TSNRP, and, if applicable, is acceptable to the chairperson of a DNP student's capstone committee.
The Advanced Military Nurse Scientist Forum is designed for experienced nurse scientists who have received multiple TSNRP grants. Participants receive instruction on topics of their choosing, such as advanced research design, advanced statistical analysis, statistical software, information technology, mentoring, or implementation science theory.
For more information on any of these workshops, including registration information, check the TSNRP Web site for announcements.
