The overarching goal of the program is to support the development of collaborative practice environments that deliver patient and population-centered quality health care that is safe, efficient, effective and equitable. In addition, the program aims to promote interprofessional team work and coordinated team-based care by increasing the number of nurses skilled in interprofessional collaborative practice. The program will solicit projects that create and/or expand practice environments comprised of nursing and other professional disciplines engaged in collaborative practice innovations. Projects will be deemed highly competitive if they: 1) cultivate practice environments in which emergent nurse leaders have an opportunity to demonstrate leadership in interprofessional team building, collaborative problem-solving and care-coordination, 2) provide interprofessional practice-based training opportunities for nursing and other health professional students and trainees, and 3) demonstrate innovation in IPCP. The proposed projects must select and employ well-integrated strategies that are rooted in interprofessional research, education and practice which will equip professionals with the resources they need to practice in interprofessional collaborative environments.
Applications are due February 3, 2014.
