The Canadian Gerontological Nursing Association (CGNA) is proud to offer our members the following research grant and scholarship opportunities.
Members are eligible to apply for research grants and scholarships if they are members of CGNA, with preference given to those with two consecutive years of membership.
The 2024 application period for grants and scholarship will open Thursday November 9, 2023 and will close Friday, January 19th, 2024. Applications must be time stamped before 11:59 pm.

CGNA offers research grants each year in support of small research projects examining an area of gerontological nursing practice up to $2500.
The research grant program is designed to support pilot studies which will lead to grant applications to larger funding agencies, or small studies focused on older adults and gerontological nursing for which other funding sources are limited. Please see research grant guidelines for details on format and content of research grant applications.
CGNA offers scholarships each year to support students enrolled in a nursing program focused on gerontological nursing.
The Ann C. Beckingham Scholarship is provided to support outstanding Registered Nurses undertaking further education in a graduate degree program, preferably in the field of gerontological nursing, including Nurse Practitioner programs that focus on the care of older adults.
The Memorial Scholarship is not offered in the 2024 cycle.
Stay tuned for future updates.
