To our partners and friends in EBP:
You are answering a calling to care in advocating for evidence-based practice, and we want to help you advance that cause. The Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for Evidence-based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare is undergoing an evolution to ensure that our programming and outreach remains relevant and impactful in building the EBP movement.
To that end, effective December 3, 2024, the EBP Certificate and EBP Certification programs will no longer accept new applications. If you are currently registered and/or have completed the application, you will be able to continue in the programs if you can finish within six (6) months of your registration date. Current EBP Certificate holders and EBP Certification recipients will be recognized for five years from the date awarded. You can contact Dr. Cindy Beckett ( beckett.107@osu.edu) with any questions.
We will update you on how the Fuld National Institute for EBP will be able to support and partner with you and your teams in the weeks ahead. We wish you great success in your evidence-based practice journey!

Whether you need to create, strengthen or remediate EBP with the students in your institutions’ academic courses at any level, our EBP Modular Program is a great solution. Modeled after our EBP process being used by healthcare systems and academic institutions across the country, this 15-module course contains the most current content on EBP. The modular program includes:
- 15 modules that provide 20 hours of didactic content covering the seven steps of EBP
- Lectures by the Fuld’s world renowned EBP experts
- Primary EBP content for undergraduate students and outstanding refresher content for graduate and professional students
By purchasing this modular program, your students and faculty are granted unlimited access to the content for two years with the option to renew. We are offering special pricing for academic institutions through the end of 2020: $6,000 for colleges or schools of nursing with less than 1,000 students and $8,000 for colleges and schools of nursing that have over 1,000 students. The value for similar modular programs is typically ~$350/person, however, with our small institution pricing of $6,000 for up to 999 students, that’s just over $6/person and for the large institution pricing of $8,000 for more than 1,000 students, that’s at most $8/person!
