The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) announced the creation of the RWJF New Careers in Nursing Scholarship Program, designed to alleviate the nation's nursing shortage by dramatically expanding the pipeline of students in accelerated nursing programs.
AACN will serve as the National Program Office for this RWJF-funded initiative and will oversee the grant application submission and review processes. A National Advisory Committee (NAC) composed of experts from nursing, healthcare, and the academic arenas will conduct the individual proposal reviews.
