In this report, a framework was developed to assess more recent research capacity in nursing. For more information, view the status report:   http://www.chsrf.ca/nursing_research_fund/index_e.php   An Evaluation of the Nursing Research Fund: Lessons to Date and Recommended Next Steps   The establishment of the Nursing Research Fund (NRF) in 1999 was a triumph for the nursing community in achieving a greater commitment to building nursing research capacity in Canada to help better meet the challenges in the healthcare system of the day.   The Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF) Nursing Care Partnership Program (NCP) is directed to support clinical nursing research.   An evaluation of the NRF was commissioned by the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation (CHSRF) in 2007 and completed in 2008.
