AACN-Philips Medical Systems Clinical Outcomes Grant 


Cosponsored by Philips Medical Systems AACN, these grants support experienced nurses in conducting clearly articulated research studies. The research must be relevant to clinical nursing practice in high acuity or critical care.

Proposals submitted by an interdisciplinary team or an experienced researcher mentoring a novice will also be considered. Funds may be used for original research or replication of existing research.

We expect and hope that the knowledge gained from this project will be shared. Upon completion of your research study or project, AACN encourages you to submit your work for publication and/or presentation. 

Available Funding 

Three awards are available annually; each accepted proposal may be funded up to $10,000.

  • Improving specific patient care outcomes (e.g., clinical, safety, financial)
  • Use of simulation in clinical education of nurses
  • One or more of the National Patient Safety Goals issued by the Joint Commission
