In 2009, ONCC^® will award up to five grants totaling $5000 to chapters of the Oncology Nursing Society or the Association of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nurses to fund activities that encourage, support, or recognize oncology certification of nurses.

To be eligible to receive a grant, a chapter must submit an application form that identifies the scope of the intended project and expected outcomes. Priority will be given to projects for which the chapter will provide matching funds. Funding priority also will be given to projects that can be sustained or repeated, rather than limited or one-time events. Chapters that receive funding will be expected to provide a brief report on the outcomes of the project, so that the ideas may be shared with other groups.

Application forms are due June 1, 2009.
