Victorian Nurse Practitioner Project (VNPP) Publication Grants
There are no publication grants being offered at this time.
Victorian Nurse Practitioner Project publication grants support publication of papers and presentations that disseminate knowledge about nurse practitioner role implementation and sustainability. This will enable other health services to build on the work and knowledge of those organisations that have been funded by the VNPP.
Grant recipients are required to present at a conference or submit for publication in a peer reviewed journal within 18 months.
The grants awarded in 2008 & 2010 to metropolitan and rural nurses are listed below.
