Detroit Medical Center (DMC) Faculty Scholar Award (summer)
Notify CHR of intent to submit: February 1, 2006
Deadline: March 1, 2006
Maximum Award: $15,000

The 2006 DMC Faculty Scholar Award Program will fund studies that focus on translating WSU faculty research into studies of clinical practice at the DMC. Both need-based and hypothesis-testing proposals are of interest. Three to five faculty teams, each of which is composed of one Research Faculty Scholar and one Clinical Faculty Scholar, will be funded. The Clinical Faculty Scholar must be a CON faculty. The Research Faculty Scholar may be from a WSU Department other than Nursing. Faculty Scholar teams will be assisted in finding a required co-investigator from the DMC Department of Nursing. Proposals will be judged on a number of factors in addition to scientific merit including (a) innovativeness, (b) impact on DMC nursing practice, and (c) likelihood of research leading to major external funding.
