NHIVNA Research Grant, Science and Travel Scholarship:
Overview
Aims and objectives
The National HIV Nurses Association (NHIVNA) is committed to promoting research, education and support for nurses working within HIV/sexual health. Through sponsorship from Boehringer Ingelheim, NHIVNA has secured funding to enable NHIVNA members to undertake original research, further their education and clinical practice through a travel scholarship, and to encourage and support nurses to present at national and international meetings.
Areas of support
- Research Grants: These will be awarded for NHIVNA members to undertake a piece of original research related to an HIV nursing issue.
- Science Scholarships: For an abstract accepted for presentation (oral or poster) at a national or conference. Either registration, travel or accommodation will be paid for by the scholarship fund.
- Travel Scholarships: Applications are invited from NHIVNA members who are working in the field of HIV/sexual health, wishing to expand their knowledge and share experiences with other centres providing care for clients within the HIV/GUM setting. The project may be carried out in the UK, overseas or a combination of both.
