ENDVR Fellowship Overview

The Emergency Nursing Diverse Voices Research Fellowship program seeks to support and mentor beginning researchers who are members of underrepresented communities. Launched in 2022 through support from the ENA Foundation and in collaboration with the ENA DEI Committee, the ENR Advisory Council seeks to mentor the next generation of researchers by ensuring all voices are at the table.

Successful applicants will engage in an 18-month to two-year experience in identifying and answering clinically based research questions. Funding for hotel and travel to required meetings, registration for events, and grant funding for research projects up to $500 are provided by the ENA Foundation.
