No, you are not eligible. You must be working at a fully accredited, US-based, baccalaureate nursing program. - I would like to include tables in my proposal narrative. What format and font should I use for tables and graphs? Can I attach these as an appendix?
It is permissible to include tables and graphs in your proposal narrative. Please use 10-point Times New Roman for these items. Please address all elements of your proposal in the 12 page proposal narrative. No appendices are permitted. - Under the Key Contacts Section of Grantmaking Online, I see that the name of a project director is requested. Who is that person?
The project director is the scholar applicant to the RWJF NFS program. It is confusing as this format is also used for applications for projects. - I would like to include copies of the data collection instruments in my research proposal. Can I include these in an appendix?
You should describe data collection instruments in the methodology section of your proposal narrative. No appendices are permitted. - Should letters of recommendation be on my institution's letterhead?
While not required, it is permitted to put letters from your mentors, dean, provost, and the letter of recommendation on letterhead stationery. Please take care to follow guidelines in the template regarding page limit, font, and margins. - In what part of the application should I describe personal development activities that I intend to pursue as a Nurse Faculty Scholar?
Please incorporate the leadership development activities you propose to undertake in the NFS program in the executive summary section where you discuss your professional goals and career vision. - I understand that there are five letters to be submitted for my application through Grantmaking Online, however there are only 4 templates to download.
That is correct. The letter for the primary nursing mentor and research mentors are downloaded as one document – we are sorry about this inconvenience. Once you have received the two letters, you should scan both letters and biosketches into one document and upload these as one document. - On the Grantmaking Online website, it states that "Finalists may be asked to submit a hardcopy version of their letters of support." Are these letters the original signed copy from my mentors?
Yes, please retain these original letters for your files should you be required to submit the hard copy original.
