Dear
Colleagues:
Since
its inception in 2005, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s (RWJF) Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research
Initiative (INQRI) has funded 48 research
studies.
Forty were conducted by
interdisciplinary teams of scholars from nursing and other disciplines to
address the gaps in knowledge about the relationship between nursing and health
care quality. The remaining eight funded
studies, answered the call of the Future
of Nursing National Research Agenda launched
in 2011 to support research that would inform implementation of the
recommendations in the Institute of Medicine’s report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing
Health.
A
part of our journey is now complete. The
recent announcement of the final grantee team funded through the Future of
Nursing National Research Agenda marks the closure of the INQRI program. RWJF will not be issuing any further calls for
proposals or directly funding any additional INQRI proposals. There remains the possibility that other
funding partners could support proposals “on the board” in further development
of these ideas. RWJF will continue to
support the site and facilitate conversations that may help to advance the
science through December 31, 2014.
We
are grateful to INQRI’s grantee teams and to each of you for your efforts to
advance the science linking nursing to quality of health care in the U.S.
Sincerely,
Mary Naylor, PhD, FAAN, RN,
Co-Director, INQRI
