From page 1...
... In fiscal year (FY) 1992, Congress appropriated initial funding of $1 million to establish the TriService Nursing Research Program to support targeted research by military nurses.
From page 2...
... Nurse officers with master's degrees have received a majority of the TriService Nursing Research Program grants. The Army Nurse Corps has medical facilities that incorporate a strong focus on nursing research, and the Navy and Air Force are taking steps to increase their research capabilities.
From page 3...
... Awards have been granted to members of all three military services, including active, reserve, and guard components. The program has instituted yearly improvements in its Requests for Proposals and scientific peer review process; implemented grants-writing workshops to assist military nurses to develop sound proposals; produced monographs that summarize completed projects; and recently subcontracted services to support peer review of proposals, program management, and grants-writing workshops.
From page 4...
... CONCLUSIONS Depth and Breadth of Military Nursing Research The Committee on Military Nursing Research concluded that the researchable problems that should be addressed by the TriService Nursing Research Program are large in number and potentially of great importance. Presently, the number of military nurse scientists available to address these questions and the infrastructure to support a robust and productive research program are quite small, especially among the active-duty component.
From page 5...
... Nonetheless, the committee concludes that the TriService Nursing Research Group, which oversees the program, serves as a useful mechanism; and it commends both the TriService Nursing Research Group and the TriService Nursing Research Program administrator for their accomplishments and continuing efforts to strengthen the program. Peer Review Although the peer review process used by the TriService Nursing Research Program is intended to ensure the scientific merit of funded proposals, currently there is a fundamental problem in the peer review process: research proposals submitted by military nurses are reviewed exclusively by military personnel.
From page 6...
... Additional recommendations and explanatory information appear in the complete report. Recommendations for Program Management Management Structure The committee deliberated on the existing management structure of the TriService Nursing Research Program and recommends the following: · The TriService Nursing Research Group should continue to provide oversight to the program.
From page 7...
... · Include at least three nonmilitary scientists with experience on outside scientific review panels on the TriService Nursing Research Program Scientific Review Panel. This action would expand the pool of potential reviewers and make it possible for military panel members to benefit from exposure to scientists with experience on civilian research review panels.
From page 8...
... Recommendations for Programmatic Investment Strategies The committee recommends expanding the current grant award categories and using more stringent requirements for grant applicants, as indicated below. It provides recommendations for award categories for the short term and for
From page 9...
... Senior Investigator Awards. Doctorally prepared nurses who served in the active or reserve component of the Army, Navy, or Air Force Nurse Corps within the past 3 years are eligible to apply.
From page 10...
... The development of Centers of Excellence in Military Nursing Research as part of the organizational structure of military medical centers or treatment facilities would enhance the career development of military nurse researchers and increase the probability of successful completion of grants awarded by this program to active-duty military nurses. With the implementation of these recommendations and others contained in the complete report, the TriService Nursing Research Program has the potential to evolve into a strong force for the advancement of military nursing practice.
