AONL Foundation Increases Financial Aid, Research Funding

The AONL Foundation for Leadership Research and Education increased funding for scholarships by 71% in 2025, enabling more leadership development opportunities for nurse leaders, according to the foundation’s Winter 2025 Biannual Report released this week. The AONL Foundation also increased the funds for research grants awarded by 67% compared with the previous cycle, empowering nurse scientists to explore critical study areas and share evidence-based insights. Fostering collaboration and innovation through roundtables and a leadership symposium, the foundation addressed topics from artificial intelligence to virtual nursing care delivery models. These initiatives provided leaders with the resources to navigate a rapidly evolving health care landscape. “Our 2025 accomplishments are a direct result of the generosity and commitment of our donors, volunteers and supporters who believe deeply in the AONL Foundation’s mission,” said Tina Mammone, PhD, RN, executive director of the AONL Foundation.
