Postdoctoral Fellowship for DNPs
Apply to be part of our next cohort!
The goal of this one-year, mentored fellowship is to create premier Doctors of Nursing Practice 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. Mentorship will be provided by internationally recognized experts from the Fuld National Institute for EBP.
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, systems 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.
This 12-month fellowship will begin on July 1, 2023, and run through June 30, 2024, with an orientation in June 2023. Qualified applicants need to have earned a DNP within the last five years and before June 30, 2023, to be eligible. Consideration will be given to candidates who have graduated more than five years ago if the application is accompanied by a statement (100 words maximum) addressing why you chose to apply to the fellowship at this point in your career.
The new deadline to apply is 11:59 p.m. EDT, Friday, March 31.
