A methodology for supporting research and scholarship.

The Office for Nursing Research and Scholarship was established in the spring of 1999 in a school of nursing on a large health sciences campus. In the first 2 years of operation, 11 federal grants were developed and submitted; 5 are currently funded, 3 have received competitive priority scores, 2 are in revision, and 1 awaits review. Intramural and private funding and preparation of manuscripts for publication have noticeably increased during this interval.
