VA Nursing Fellowships

The Postdoctoral Nurse Fellowship Program is designed to provide nurses, who have earned doctoral degrees, the opportunity to broaden their scientific or research background, or to extend their potential for clinical research in nursing. The major goal of the Postdoctoral Nurse Fellowship Program is to develop a cadre of clinical nurse researchers who will be able to:
(a) conduct clinical nursing research;
(b) secure funds for clinical studies through grants;
(c) foster communication of clinical research findings through presentations and publications; and
(d) promote integration of significant research findings into the clinical care of patients.
This fellowship program was developed in collaboration with the Nursing Services Office and is funded both by the Office of Academic Affiliations and the Office of Research and Development.
