The Robert Wood Johnson foundation future of nursing scholars program: The scholar experience

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Future of Nursing Scholars program (FNS program) was launched in 2013 to create a diverse cadre of PhD prepared nurses who are committed to a long-term leadership career; advancing science and discovery through research; strengthening nursing education; and furthering transformational change in nursing and health care. The development of the program was in direct response to a 2011 report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM), now the National Academy of Medicine, titled, “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.” The report highlighted the importance of and recommendation to double the number of nurses with a doctorate degree (Institute of Medicine, 2010).
