Awards
RESEARCH FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES - 2007-2008
The Eta Iota Chapter of Sigma Theta International will be awarding a grant at fall induction to support research initiatives being undertaken by Eta Iota members. Grants for $500 each will be awarded in the fall to nurse researchers whose work best characterizes the spirit of scholarship for which Sigma Theta Tau is known. Awarding of the grants will be competitive based on blind review of an abstract describing the research. Award winners will be required to present their findings to the membership.
