Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Postdoctoral Fellowship

EBP Postdoc logo - abstract representtion of people coming together around an EBP puzzle pieceThe Fuld National Institute for EBP is proud to announce the launch of an innovative Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Postdoctoral Fellowship. Fellows will gain expertise through engagement in a variety of experiences and mentorship from internationally recognized experts in these fields. The goal of this one-year, mentored fellowship is to create premier DNP experts in practice and academia who will accelerate the translation of evidence into practice and leverage the synergies between EBP, research and quality improvement to advance healthcare delivery and/or population health outcomes in real-world settings.

To achieve this goal, the fellowship will focus on:

  • Developing advanced knowledge, skills, expertise and experience in evidence-based practice (EBP), evidence-based quality improvement (EBQI), implementation science and strategies, system leadership, innovation and navigation of change in complex systems.
  • Creating organizational cultures that sustain EBP in order to add value, enhance return on investment (ROI)/value of investment (VOI) and positively impact outcomes.
  • Gaining exposure to high-visibility experiences in order to start building recognition as an EBP expert.
  • Disseminating some aspect of their work at a national-level conference.
  • Building a foundation for ongoing practice scholarship.

Application Information

This application is now open and closes on March 31, 2023, at 11:59 pm EDT. This 12- month fellowship runs from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, with an orientation in June 2023.
Qualified applicants need to have earned a DNP, with preference given to those within the last five years, before June 30, 2023. For those candidates with a DNP degree earned more than 5 years ago, a special statement is required.

The announcements of past DNP postdoctoral fellows can be found below.

Qualifications:

A qualified applicant is:

  • a registered nurse,
  • a graduate of an accredited Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP) program with preference given to those earned in the past five years (i.e., you would need to have graduated between 2018 and 2023 for the 2023 application year)* and
  • willing to travel approximately four weeks in 1 week-increments during the 12-month postdoctoral fellowship period.

A qualified applicant has:

  • a minimum of two years of nursing experience,
  • a commitment to serving as a leader in EBP,
  • demonstrated or emerging leadership experiences,
  • supervisor/organizational support for fellowship requirements and
  • funding for travel for required on-site experiences (either organizational or personal).

A completed application will include:

  • DNP Postdoctoral Candidate Personal Information Form with responses to open-ended essay questions
  • CV/résumé
  • DNP or DNAP Transcript showing earned degree (may be unofficial)
  • Letter of support from the sponsoring organization (see Support Letters Guide)
  • OPTIONAL: Commitment statement from organizational mentor to support the DNP postdoc candidate (see Support Letters Guide)

    This fellowship requires little to no out-of-pocket costs for the participant. Much of the work will be done either virtually or at the fellow’s organization, but may involve up to four one-week segments of travel across the year-long experience.

    More details about this program can be found on the DNP Postdoctoral Fellowship Overview.

    *Consideration will be given to candidates who have graduated more than five years ago if the application is accompanied by a statement (100 word maximum) addressing why you chose to apply to the DNP Postdoctoral Fellowship at this point in your career.

    If you have any technical questions regarding the submission, please contact Kara Prem at prem.12@osu.edu.

    The experiences that I am gaining as a part of the DNP Postdoc Fellowship are rewarding both personally and professionally. Personally, the guidance provided by my mentors has been inspirational and encouraging in all regards. Professionally, I am working with senior leaders in my organization and learning from their incredible knowledge and insight. I believe that the work I am doing in this project will be beneficial both inside and outside of my organization while it enhances my knowledge of evidence-based practice implementation.

    Lee Ann Strait DNP, RN-BC

    Assistant Professor of Clinical Practice The Ohio State University | College of Nursing

    The DNP Postdoc Fellowship has given me another chance to grow and learn with my colleagues as we take our evidenced-based practice (EBP) knowledge from the academic setting into clinical settings and leadership practice. Incorporating the six steps of EBP into my hospital system for professional development of my nurses, educators, and entire leadership team is developing the structure to transform our culture and sustain it through the spirit of inquiry.
