The Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action, an initiative of AARP Foundation, AARP and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is now accepting applications for a new award program that will recognize nurses who model equity-minded thought leadership and are helping lead the way to health equity.
Co-sponsored by nursing organizations, each of five awardees will receive a $1,000 prize, paid travel to and recognition at the Campaign’s health equity summit in Washington, DC, Oct. 31-Nov. 1, 2023.
Individuals may apply themselves, or nominate another nurse, in one of five categories:
The Equity-Minded Rising Star for a student or early career nurses whose contributions show promise for ongoing impact in reducing health disparities and advancing health equity. Co-sponsored by the National League for Nursing.
The Equity-Minded Practice Award for a nurse whose work with patients, families and/or communities exemplifies efforts to reduce health disparities and advance health equity.
The Equity-Minded Research Award for a nurse researcher whose scholarship advances the science and the body of knowledge that advances health equity.
The Equity-Minded Educator Award for a nurse educator whose efforts demonstrate excellence in diversifying the nursing student body, inclusive teaching/learning practices, and whose teaching and/or curriculum design include topics that lead to the graduation of equity-minded nursing.
The Equity-Minded Leader Award for a nurse who is a catalyst for change at the systems or organization level to address and dismantle policies and structures that contribute to disparities and inequities. Co-sponsored by the American Organization for Nursing Leadership.
