STN Now Accepting 2026 Research Grant Proposals
The 2026 STN Research Grant Program is now accepting proposal submissions. Funding research and evidence-based practice projects is a part of the mission and strategic plan of the Society of Trauma Nurses (STN), with a goal to positively impact the care and treatment of trauma patients.
The STN Research Grant Program provides support for nurses who strive to continually evaluate and improve the practice of trauma nursing and intend to change the practice of trauma nursing based on evidence.
To be eligible, the principal investigator of the study must be an STN nurse member. The role and importance of nurses in the conceptualization, data collection, analysis, and/or reporting is imperative.
STN’s aim is to fund studies whose findings will be transferable to other organizations and practitioners once completed. Applicants should be ready to implement their projects immediately following funding from STN. To expedite this, the application requires you to provide evidence of permission to use the tools proposed. Only projects approved by your Institutional Review Board (IRB) or which have been exempted in writing by your IRB will be funded. A copy of your IRB approval on IRB letterhead and with an appropriate signature will be required prior to the funding of the grant.
Please visit the STN Research Grant Funding webpage for more information about submission requirements and to submit your research grant proposal for the 2025 funding cycle. Proposals must be submitted by April 30, 2026, for consideration. Please contact Stephanie Czuhajewski for more information.
