American Holistic Nurses Association Research Grants

Research Grants are available to current AHNA members who are conducting research on topics related to holistic nursing and have been members of AHNA for at least one year. Eligibility includes doctoral students who wish to apply for funds to support their research.

Selection Process:

Grants are competitive and are awarded through the AHNA Research Committee.  All applications and proposals are reviewed by the AHNA Research Committee members or designees of the subcommittee chair for grants who is appointed by the coordinator for research and the Leadership Council of AHNA.

Grant Awards:

The amount of the award will vary from year to year.  This award is supported by individual and group donations through AHNA’s Research Fund.

Those receiving the AHNA research grant funds are required to submit a progress report on an annual basis with a final report at the conclusion of the study and maintain a current membership with AHNA. Recipients are encouraged to attend the national AHNA conference to receive their awards. Winners are also encouraged to attend a subsequent conference to present their research findings, and are encouraged to publish the results of their work.
