The Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF) announces Nursing 4.0, a four-year drive to raise four million dollars. The campaign will be launched during National Nursing Week and will culminate in the celebration of CNF’s 50th anniversary.

An Evaluation of the Nursing Resarch 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. Please view the final report for lessons to date and recommendations for next steps..
