Join Us for the Future of Nursing: Passion, Purpose, and Progress
Plan to attend this week’s Campaign for Action
event, open to all who care about the nation’s health. The February 24 meeting sets the stage for the National Academy of Medicine’s forthcoming report on nursing for the next decade, and honors the contributions of nursing during this extraordinary time. Presenters include leaders from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, AARP Foundation, and the
Campaign.
AARP Purpose Prize, Community Challenge Open to Applicants
One program is for entrepreneurs 50 and over who are using their wealth of experience to improve the world. One program is for the innovators applying ideas to change communities in ways large and small. Both AARP’s Purpose Prize and its Community Challenge, with deadlines in late March and in April, are now accepting applications.
Every community welcomes leadership, and now’s the time to get involved: AARP and the Nurses on Boards Coalition seek nurses to represent AARP on community boards working to improve patient care, support family caregivers, build healthier communities and advocate for policies that lead to better health and well-being.

Grants are available for research to evaluate solutions. Deadline: June 9.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation invites full-time doctoral students from nonclinical, research-focused disciplines to apply to become Health Policy Research Scholars. The four-year leadership program seeks those motivated to improve health, well-being, and equity and who want to lead actionable research that will inform policy change.
