ANNOUNCING THE HELENE FULD HEALTH TRUST NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE IN NURSING & HEALTHCARE

The Ohio State University College of Nursing and Dr. Bernadette Melnyk, Associate Vice President for Health Promotion, University Chief Wellness Officer and Dean, are honored to announce the awarding of a $6.5 million grant from the Helene Fuld Health Trust, which is the largest philanthropic gift received by the college.

This transformational grant will establish and endow in perpetuity the Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for Evidence-based Practice in Nursing & Healthcare. The new institute will launch with the first National Summit on Transforming Healthcare through EBP on October 18-20, 2017.

As the national hub for the teaching of best practices to improve healthcare quality and patient outcomes, the institute will work with nursing faculty across the nation to integrate EBP throughout their curriculums to produce the highest caliber of evidence-based nursing graduates, as well as working with healthcare systems to implement and sustain EBP and conduct research to determine best strategies to rapidly translate evidence-based interventions into real world clinical settings.

This generous grant paves the way for The Ohio State University College of Nursing to accelerate its efforts in thinking and achieving the impossible to revolutionize healthcare and transform health through innovative education, research, entrepreneurship and evidence-based clinical practice.

Additional details on the Summit will be announced as they become available. Please plan to join us as we turn dreams into reality!

Transforming health, Transforming lives
