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.
