Nurse Researcher Grants

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation’s Nursing Grants Program is designed to improve the quality of life for young cancer patients and their families.  ALSF added the Nursing Grant program to an already successful and innovative pediatric research grant program in 2007.  We recognize the importance of investing in research that enables nurses to find better ways to care for children undergoing cancer treatment.

Discovery Grant: Independent Nurse Researcher - This award is designed for an experienced nurse researcher. Demonstration of a career plan that shows commitment to pediatric cancer nursing is a critical component of a successful application.

Nurse Researcher Fellowship Grant

​​The Nursing Research Fellowship is not accepting applications.

Nursing Research Fellowship - The Fellowship aims to support early career nurse researchers who will be guided in their projects by a mentor and their institution. The fellowship’s goal is to train PhD and Master’s level nurse researchers to initiate and lead a multi-site research project.  With support from an experienced nurse research mentor identified by ALSF, fellowship recipients will develop a team within their own institutions as well as partnerships at other institutions to implement their proposed research study. A formal curriculum focuses on developing multi-site investigator skills as part of the Fellowship.
