Health IT SPARK Grants
Health IT Speedy Proposal Assistance and Research Knowledge Grants
Background: The Dean’s Office provides up to $20,000 to support innovative nursing research on Health IT that has great potential for NIH funding in the coming year. One award is expected, but multiple (smaller) awards are possible depending on the number of high-quality proposals received.
Eligibility: The principal investigator (PI) must be a full-time doctorally-prepared School of Nursing faculty member. Each faculty member may participate in one submission. Recipients of other School of Nursing internal grants that are active in 2024 are eligible to submit a Health IT SPARK grant application, provided that the application is scientifically distinct from an existing grant. Due to the highly interdisciplinary nature of Health IT research, each application is expected to include at least one outside collaborator—as Co-PI or Co-Investigator (Co-I)— whose expertise is integral to the proposed work. Evidence of successful prior collaboration is a bonus, but not required.

NURSING-AI Challenge
Implementing the NURSING-AI Challenge to Transform Real-World Nursing Education, Practice, and Research Through AI Innovation
Background: The NURSING-AI Challenge is an initiative designed to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into nursing education, practice, and research by directly addressing real-world challenges faced by nursing faculty. This initiative fosters interdisciplinary collaboration between School of Nursing and other units like the McCombs School of Business, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, School of Information, and various interdisciplinary research centers on campus. Our objective is to create AI-driven solutions that enhance nursing education, practice, and research.
