Nurses have 11 more days to submit applications to the Johnson & Johnson Nurses Innovate QuickFire Challenge in COVID-19 Patient Care, cosponsored by AONL and the Society of Nurse Scientists, Innovators, Entrepreneurs & Leaders (SONSIEL). Nurse innovators with the best ideas will receive up to $100,000 in grant funding, mentoring from experts and access to the Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JLABS ecosystem. Proposals should improve COVID-19 patient care, foster resiliency and self-care, support a safe return to work or school, support the sharing of best practices, or address racial disparities and inequities in health care. A panel including AONL CEO Robyn Begley, DNP, RN, will discuss the challenge during a webinar at 11 a.m. on Sept. 23. Registration is available online.
