BUILDING ACADEMIC GERIATRIC NURSING CAPACITY Program
|
The
Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity Program
is a nation-wide movement to build strength and capacity within
geriatric nursing education and practice. Made possible by the
John A. Hartford Foundation, this five-year funded program aims
to build geriatric nursing leaders through its Centers of Geriatric
Nursing Excellence, its Scholars Program, and other leadership
building initiatives. It is also expected to increase the body
of geriatric nursing research.
 American
Academy of Nursing (ANA) serves
as the Coordinating Center for the Hartford Foundation's Building
Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity Initiative.

GERIATRIC NURSING EDUCATION PROJECT
American
Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN)
administers the Geriatric
Nursing Education Project, another program generously
funded by the John A. Hartford Foundation. In September 2001,
the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) received
a $2 million grant from The John A. Hartford Foundation of
New York to promote career opportunities in geriatric
advanced practice nursing and improve the quality of care
for older adults. Through this initiative, AACN provides scholarship
monies to schools of nursing with geriatric advanced practice
nursing programs to expand their student base.
