Awarding of grant funding is competitive and will be determined through peer review of proposals by members of the ISONG Research Committee.

- To apply for a grant an applicant must be a member of ISONG in good standing.
- Applicants with large foundation or government funding will not be considered for ISONG funding opportunities.
In 2017 the support received from our sponsors provided for three ISONG Nursing Research Grant Awards.
