Program Background
- What is Evaluating Innovations in Nursing Education?It is a national initiative to fund evaluations of ongoing innovations that have demonstrated promise to address the nurse faculty shortage. The initiative is administered by the EIN National Program Office established by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
- What is the purpose of the program?Evaluating Innovations in Nursing Education will evaluate innovations that expand teaching capacity or promote faculty recruitment and retention in schools of nursing. It is designed to yield evidence of the effectiveness of innovative strategies addressing the nurse faculty shortage. The program’s ultimate goal is to increase the number of nursing school graduates by replicating these successful strategies.
- What are the goals of the Evaluating Innovations in Nursing Education program?The program will fund evaluations of innovations that address the nurse faculty shortage and ultimately promise to expand the supply of graduated nurses. The specific goals are to:
- Develop and disseminate evidence of the effectiveness of innovations in achieving these ends;
- Foster replication of successful strategies in varied settings across the country;
- Assemble benchmark measures of key variables associated with the faculty shortage so that individual nursing schools can compare their status to national norms.
- Why is the program needed?
The U.S. nurse shortage is intensifying, even as thousands of qualified applicants are being turned away from nursing schools because of a lack of faculty members available to teach them (AACN 2009). The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is committed to expanding the number of nurses, building their leadership capacity, sharpening their skills and those who teach them, and building awareness among policy-makers and citizens of the central role of nurses in the health care delivery system and the crisis that looms if shortages persist and grow. - What is the EIN National Program Office?
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation currently supports more than 80 national program offices. The program offices are responsible for substantive as well as administrative functions of the grantmaking process for RWJF initiatives; program office responsibilities include managing the competitive selection process, providing technical assistance to applicants and grantees, and monitoring site performance. Grants are awarded by RWJF on the basis of recommendations of the program office and the national advisory committee. The Evaluating Innovations in Nursing Education National Program Office is located at the Center for State Health Policy at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. - How does the EIN program benefit schools that are selected for funding?
Participants in the EIN program have a unique opportunity to gain national attention for their interventions, receive financial support and technical assistance to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of these interventions, and contribute to the evidence base of nursing education. It is also the hope of the RWJF and the NPO that participation in the EIN program, while labor-intensive, will increase evaluation capacity in nursing education. - Will the program support development and implementation of innovations?
No. The premise underlying this initiative is that promising interventions in existence merit evaluation. By isolating the impact of these interventions and disseminating the evidence broadly, our aim is to assure that the academic nursing community will benefit from existing efforts to address the faculty shortage. - Is it necessary to identify an evaluator prior to submitting the brief application?
Yes. We will judge the application on the strength of the evaluation plan as well as the innovation. The evaluation partner should develop those segments of the brief proposal that describe the planned evaluation design. - How many grants will be awarded?
We will award up to fourteen grants in the two cycles of funding. Grants awarded from the first cycle began in December 2009, and those funded from the second round will begin on October 1, 2010. - Do you anticipate another call for proposals next year?
At this time, we do not anticipate another call for proposals in 2010. - Does the intervention need to be already underway or can it be under development at the time of submitting an application?
The intervention must be already implemented and ongoing by the time you submit the full proposal. We require this for three reasons: First, there needs to be some evidence of its likely effectiveness. Second, the intervention must be fully described in the proposal. Third, the proposal requires stakeholder assurance that the intervention is implemented on a sufficient scale, that all needed data are available, and that all parties will fully cooperate in the evaluation. A proposal to replicate or expanding an existing and ongoing intervention to new sites would be eligible.
Submitting an Application
- Who is eligible to receive a grant under this program?The applicant organization will be the nursing school or health care organization responsible for administering the existing innovation. By serving in this capacity, the organization commits to implementing fully the innovation and its evaluation and to providing information central to its replication in other settings. We will award one grant only per institution. We expect the applicant to develop a sub-contract with the evaluation partner who is outside of the nursing school or health care organization. We expect at least 75 percent of funds will be budgeted to support the activities of this partner.
- Are all educational institutions eligible to apply, including four-year and two-year colleges?Yes, as long as they are accredited by the AACN (CCNE) or the NLN (NLNAC).
- Are state workforce centers eligible to apply?
Yes, as long as the focus is on a well-defined intervention that has promise in increasing educational capacity or improving faculty recruitment and retention. Policy changes that meet these criteria are eligible as well. - Should the intervention focus on undergraduate or graduate education?
If the aim of the intervention is to increase teaching productivity, then the more relevant setting would be undergraduate education (BSN and ADN programs) with a key outcome being number of graduates per faculty member. If the intent is to produce more teaching faculty, than graduate education may be an appropriate focus. - Are APN or DPN programs eligible to apply?
The ultimate goal of this funding opportunity is to increase the number of nursing school graduates prepared to take the licensure exam by expanding the faculty workforce and/or improving the teaching productivity of existing faculty (e.g., number of graduates per faculty member). If a strong case can be made that your APN or DNP program addresses this goal directly, it is eligible. Please contact us if you want to discuss this further. - Is it acceptable to have an evaluator (investigator) outside of the nursing school, but within the same university?
Yes. The evaluator may reside within the same university. However, the evaluator should not work within the nursing school. - While only one applicant per institution can be awarded a grant, is there a disadvantage to submitting more than one preliminary proposal from the same institution?
It would be surprising that one institution has more than one intervention that would be eligible for evaluation under this program. Nevertheless, there is no disadvantage to submitting more than one proposal. - Can there be more than one Principal Investigator on the project?
Yes. A project may have more than one Principal Investigator. The first Principal Investigator should have direct responsibility for implementing the innovation at the applicant institution. The other Investigator should be an evaluator with relevant expertise and experience to assess the innovation. - Does a project team have to apply for a grant of $300,000?
The maximum for any grant under this program is $300,000. However, project teams may submit proposals for any funding amount less than the maximum. We will consider the appropriateness of the budget in making funding decisions. - How long should the brief proposal be? Should it be double-spaced?
There is a nine-page limit (12-point font, single spaced. You can find all the details (length, font size, format, etc.) by registering and logging into Grantmaking Online.
return to top - Do I have to submit a brief proposal online?
Yes. We will only accept proposals through RWJF’s Grantmaking Online System at Grantmaking Online.
. - Can an applicant fax or email the proposal?
WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY FAXES OR EMAILS. Both brief and full proposals must be submitted online through the RWJF Grantmaking Online system. - Where should an applicant send FedEx or overnight deliveries?
WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY MATERIALS IN HARD COPY. - When is the application deadline and late submission policy?
The deadline for brief proposals is 3 p.m. Eastern Time on November 24, 2009. To be accepted for review, you must complete and submit your proposal by the deadline. To be fair to all applicants, RWJF strictly enforces this submission deadline. - What is the maximum grant request and what is the grant period?
Grants of up to $300,000 will be made available for projects up to two years in duration. New grants are scheduled to begin on October 1, 2010. Rarely if ever will we grant a no-cost extension to Evaluating Innovations in Nursing Education projects. - Is a template provided for the budget, or do we create our own?
No, there is no budget template for the brief proposal. Grantmaking Online provides instructions on how budget information should be presented in the narrative. For those invited to submit a full proposal, there will be a budget template. - Can one apply from outside of the United States?
We do not fund applicants based outside of the United States. However, this grant is open to applicants from the U.S. territories, Guam and the Mariana Islands. - When will these grants be awarded? When will we be notified if we have been awarded a grant?
July 2010: Notification of finalist status.
September 2010: Notification of award.
October 1, 2010: Start of grant. - What happens after the proposal is submitted? How will my proposal be evaluated?
We review all proposals for completeness and eligibility. We assign them to experts on our national advisory committee as well as to NPO and RWJF staff for review. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), in consultation with the National Program Office and the members of the national advisory committee makes all final funding decisions. Based on the review of the proposals, we will select up to 20 applicants to participate in a self-study that assesses the feasibility of evaluating their innovations and invite them to submit full proposals. Approximately ten applicants may be recommended by the National Program Office and the national advisory committee to RWJF for an award. We will then contact finalists to obtain additional documentation and to address any budget questions before a final funding decision is made. - How can I check the status of my proposal once it is submitted?
We expect to receive many proposals, all of which must go through the same review process. If you have a question about a specific proposal, please send an e-mail to info@EvaluatingInnovationsinNursing.org. Please be sure to include the name of the applicant institution, the principal investigator and contact information in your communication. - What is the time period (start/end dates and duration) for these grants?
Projects will start October 1, 2010 and awards will continue for up to 24 months. - Will I receive specific comments on my application after a decision is made?
We provide critiques and comments on proposals that are recommended for full proposal submission, and on full-proposals that are selected for funding. Consistent with Robert Wood Johnson Foundation policy and to ensure a fair application process, we do not provide individual critiques or comments on proposals not selected for funding. - Do we need to provide letters of support from partners in the brief proposal?
No, though you do need to identify the partners in the narrative of the proposal. If you are invited to submit a full proposal, you will be asked to submit letters of support from all of them. - If the intervention is being supported by other external funding, such as from HRSA, is that a barrier to securing funding from this initiative?
No, as long as the other funding is not supporting evaluation of the program. - Are you seeking a broad geographic distribution of grantees?
No. Applicants will not be disqualified based on geographic location or the distribution of other grantees. - Would a strategy to recruit and retain clinical preceptors be an eligible intervention?
Yes, as long as you demonstrate in the proposal that the strategy is innovative, will likely increase teaching productivity, and can be replicated in other settings. - Can the intervention be targeted to developing faculty in a special area of nursing, such as geriatrics, gerontology, or long-term care nursing?
Evaluating Innovations in Nursing Education’s ultimate goal is to increase the number of nursing school graduates. So, from the perspective of productivity, the focus is not so much on specialized programs or on graduate programs for that matter. However, if you can demonstrate that the intervention is generalizable to other specialties, it would be relevant. Please write to the National Program Office with specific questions at info@EvaluatingInnovationsinNursing.org.
Developing a Proposal
- What should the brief proposal address?In the proposal narrative template (on RWJF’s Grantmaking Online system), applicants are asked to address the topics below. We recommend that you refer to the Call for Proposals for more details.
- INTERVENTION — Describe the intervention to be evaluated, its prospects for replication, the scale of its current implementation, the logic underlying expectations that it will achieve EIN program outcomes, and existing evidence of its effectiveness. (Recommended 1-2 pages)
- EVALUATION PLAN — Describe your preliminary plans for implementing a controlled evaluation. Include a presentation of the evaluation design, its capacity for accounting for the effects of likely confounding variables, plans for comparison groups (if applicable), and evidence that the scale of implementation of the intervention will be sufficient to permit isolation of its impact on outcomes (e.g., yield adequate statistical power). Identify the outcomes you will assess to establish the effectiveness of the intervention, the availability of data for measuring these outcomes, and your plans for data collection. Explain how you will collect outcome data five years beyond the evaluation’s start date (subsequent to the end of the grant). (Recommended length: 2-3 pages)
- IMPLEMENTATION ASSESSMENT — Outline your strategy for documenting critical elements of the intervention to foster faithful replication in other settings. (Recommended length: 1 page)
- STAKEHOLDER SUPPORT — Identify the key stakeholders essential to implement the intervention and conduct the evaluation. Describe the support each stakeholder has committed to achieve the evaluation’s aims, particularly relating to data collection. (Recommended length: 1 page)
- EVALUATION TEAM — Describe the qualifications of the evaluation partner(s) as they relate to the specific needs of your project. Include information about the partner’s prior experience in program evaluation as well as expertise particularly suited to the proposed project. Identify any additional needs for expertise beyond the capabilities of your current team. (Recommended length: 1 page)
- BUDGET — Please include a preliminary budget for the project. Choose a format that best conveys your intentions for use of resources to accomplish the aims of the project. (Not to exceed 1 page).
- What are the length and style requirements for the brief proposal?
The narrative is limited to no more than nine pages, including the preliminary budget as the final page. The text should be single-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, with one-inch margins on all sides. - What criteria will be used to evaluate the proposals?
Please see the program’s Call for Proposals for selection criteria. - Is it necessary to identify an evaluator prior to submitting the brief application?
Yes. We will judge the application on the strength of the evaluation plan as well as the innovation. The evaluation partner should develop those segments of the brief proposal that describe the planned evaluation design. - How should I choose an appropriate evaluator? We have a promising innovation, but have not identified someone outside our school with appropriate expertise to evaluate it.
You should choose an evaluator who has experience in isolating the impact of programs (e.g., accounting for the effects of external variables, employing comparison groups or other means of control), selecting appropriate measures of success and overseeing all aspects of data collection and analysis and reporting of results. It is also important that the evaluator has an understanding of how your program works and why you expect it to have a positive impact on outcomes. The evaluator must not be affiliated with the nursing school or health care organization submitting the application. To assist in identifying a qualified evaluator, you might consult researchers at other departments or schools in your university or, if you are in a health care organization, a nearby university or firm with evaluation expertise. If you need further guidance, please contact the National Program Office at info@EvaluatingInnovationsinNursing.org. - In the application, we are asked to describe the evaluation team. Who should be included?
Describe the responsibilities and relevant expertise of the external evaluators as well as any staff at the applicant school or health care organization who will play a role in the evaluation. - Would it be viewed unfavorably to subcontract with the home institution’s assessment center, nationally recognized for its leadership?
There is no disadvantage in selecting evaluators within your institution as long as they are outside of the school of nursing. Select a partner who is best suited to conducting a meaningful evaluation of your intervention. - Can a retired faculty member of the applicant nursing school serve as the evaluator?
The evaluator must be independent of the intervention; the perspective of a retired faculty member, while valuable, may undermine the benefits of such independence. Assuming that a compelling case is made for participation of this individual, a workable strategy may be to involve the retired faculty member as a member of a larger evaluation team. - We are currently establishing collaborations with partners for a multi-institutional intervention. Can we apply without knowing the identity of all of the partners?
The brief proposal requires that you furnish evidence of stakeholder commitment to full participation in the intervention and its evaluation. Accordingly, you need to identify the collaborators. - We have implemented several different interventions addressing the faculty shortage. Can we propose to evaluate all of them?
Without knowing more about your interventions, we would advise you to select the most powerful among them to evaluate – the one that affects the most people and is likely to have the largest impact. Also, keep in mind that, to be eligible, the intervention must be crisply defined so as to be replicable at other institutions. - How do we develop a logic model for the proposed intervention?
An experienced evaluator will be prepared to guide the development of a logic model based upon a thorough understanding of the intervention. Basically, the model is a concise, graphic representation of inputs, intervention elements and activities, outcomes, and logical linkages among them. Be sure to demonstrate in the logic model how your intervention is expected to lead to outcomes of interest to the EIN program. - Is the list of measurable outcomes in the Call for Proposals meant to be a suggestion or do all of them need to be addressed?
You need to measure some of the outcomes from each of the three categories: teaching productivity, faculty work-life, and quality of education. Within each of these categories, you can select some of the examples and/or propose different measures. - Please elaborate on the EIN program-required measures.
We ask that all grantees adopt two sets of measures: 1) the breadth of education instrument is grounded in established competencies in academic nursing, and it will assess how confident students are in performing specific care tasks that exemplify these competencies. This questionnaire is self-administered via an electronic survey link to nursing students in all funded programs. 2) The NPO will assist EIN grantees with developing a set of cost measures for estimating the costs associated with implementing their innovation in nursing education. Because of the variability in resource input and activities, each intervention will be treated as a case study and guided by common design features to facilitate comparison across interventions. Results from this assessment will be valuable to organizations that are interested in replicating the interventions. In addition to these two sets of measures, grantees will be encouraged to make use of measures of faculty burden and worklife that have been prominently employed in prior studies and will be included in the NPO’s national survey of nurse faculty. Details on these measures will be made available to applicants who are invited to submit full proposals. - Who will cover the cost of the EIN required measures, and who owns the data?
Since these measures are not proprietary, there are no fees associated with using them. There is, of course, expense in personnel time for maximizing survey response rates. Grantees will have use of their institution-specific data; the EIN NPO will analyze program-wide data. Grantees and the NPO will have joint-authorship of publications based on program-wide data. - Who is the target population for the required EIN survey on student competencies?
The EIN survey on breadth of education focuses on competencies established by leaders in academic nursing and is designed for ADN and BSN students. - When will the breadth of education measures be available?
The breadth of education measures are now available and have been shared with applicants who have been invited to submit full proposals. - If our proposed intervention targets nurse faculty worklife, are we still required to administer the EIN survey on student competencies?
In general, we assume that maintaining or improving breadth of education is a relevant consideration in any intervention aimed at improving faculty productivity or worklife. At a minimum, we want to assure that the quality of education is not compromised in the process. However, if you present a strong case that breadth of education is not a dimension of relevance in your intervention, we may make an exception. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this further. - Is the quality of education measure limited to NCLEX pass rates, or can we consider other measures?
NCLEX is simply one of the measures to consider. Choose measures that you believe are most appropriate for assessing the effectiveness of your intervention. NCLEX passage rates are limited in usefulness, since the rates tend to be high across programs and do not discriminate to a sufficient degree. In addition to those you choose, the National Program Office will provide a breadth of education measure for program-wide use. Keep in mind that the primary outcomes of interest are faculty-related: recruitment, retention, and productivity. You are required to assess whether or not your intervention is maintaining quality of education while accomplishing its main effects. - Is faculty satisfaction appropriate to measure as an outcome of an intervention?
Faculty satisfaction is of interest to this initiative mainly for its association with faculty recruitment or retention, which are major EIN outcomes. If your intervention is intended to enhance recruitment or retention through increasing faculty satisfaction, then it would be appropriate to measure satisfaction. In a different vein, if the main intent of your intervention is to increase faculty productivity, then it may be important to assess whether or not it has an unintended (e.g., negative) impact on faculty satisfaction. In either case, your measure of satisfaction should take into account — and capture — the multiple factors that contribute to satisfaction. - Do you have a preference for a specific research/evaluation methodology?
The National Program Office has no preference with respect to methodology, but a controlled evaluation design is required. Develop a rigorous strategy for generating meaningful evidence of the impact of the intervention and present a strong case for your evaluation design. - How important is it to have an experimental and a control/comparison group?
A controlled evaluation is required in order to isolate and precisely document the impact of the intervention on the outcome measures of interest. While a randomized controlled trial may be ideal, use of comparison groups may be more realistic. In the absence of comparison groups, use of a sophisticated time series analysis may be acceptable. Normative comparison groups (e.g., benchmarks) may also be helpful in this context. - Concerning scale of implementation, what sort of numbers need to be involved?
The necessary size of the intervention group for determining the impact on outcomes will depend upon a number of factors related to your project, among them: the likely magnitude of the impact on specific outcomes (effect size), the type of evaluation design you’re employing, the nature of control variables included in the analysis, and the statistical tests you’ll employ. Issues concerning statistical power should be familiar to your evaluation partner. - Are collaborations among several nursing schools more desirable than single-school interventions?
Collaborations among schools can strengthen the evaluation by assuring that the intervention group (e.g., students, faculty) is large enough to permit isolation of the impact on outcomes (i.e., yielding adequate statistical power). For such collaborations to be effective, the intervention must be implemented with a high degree of uniformity at each site — faithful replication is crucial. Another way in which collaborations with other schools can be helpful is that they may offer appropriate comparison groups for your evaluation design. - What type of existing evidence of effectiveness of the intervention is needed for the proposal?
Preliminary evidence could include outcome measures from your program (e.g., post-intervention only), qualitative feedback on its effects, or compelling anecdotal evidence.
Budget
- What can grant funds be used for?
The maximum grant award available is $300,000. Grant funds may be used for project staff salaries, consultations, meetings, supplies, project-related travel and other direct project expenses — including a limited amount of essential equipment and indirect costs calculated at a rate of up to 12 percent. You must budget funds for each program and evaluation partner to attend two national meetings. At least 75 percent of the requested funds must support the activities of the evaluation partner. With adequate justification, up to 25 percent of the award may be used for costs incurred by the nursing school or health care organization for participation in the evaluation. In keeping with RWJF policy, grant funds may not be used for lobbying, or as a substitute for funds currently being used to support similar activities. - What is the allowable rate for indirect costs? What is covered under indirect costs?
The Foundation’s approved rate is 12% of all RWJF costs (personnel, other direct costs, and purchased services) associated with the project. Indirect costs are overhead expenses incurred by the applicant organization as a result of the project that are not easily identifiable with a specific project. These are administrative expenses that are related to overall operations and are shared among projects and/or functions. Examples include executive oversight, accounting, grants management, legal expenses, utilities and facility maintenance. - Where can I find more information about the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Grantee Budget Guidelines?
You can find more information about grantee budgeting at: Grantee Reporting Information. - Can the nursing program use part of the 75% of the budget allocated to the evaluator for their own data collection efforts?
At least 75% of the grant award must be subcontracted to the outside evaluation partner. With adequate justification, up to 25% may be budgeted to cover evaluation costs incurred by the nursing program. - Which organization in the application will receive the grant funds?
The nursing school or health care organization responsible for administering the innovation is the applicant organization and will be awarded the grant funds. However, at least 75% of the funds must be budgeted to support the evaluator’s activity. - What is the allowable percentage that can be budgeted for covering indirect costs?
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation pays 12% for indirect costs — but only 4% on the subcontract to the outside evaluator. One of the requirements of this initiative is that the applicant organization (nursing school or health care organization) concludes a subcontract for the evaluation – and that subcontract must amount to at least 75% of the total requested funds. Within that subcontract, 12% can be budgeted for indirect costs incurred by the evaluation partner, and, on the entire subcontract, an additional 4% can be requested for the applicant organization to administer it. On the expenses accrued by the applicant organization for participating in the evaluation (up to 25% of the total), RWJF will pay 12% for indirect costs.
