President's Message

MNRS Colleagues:

We all know too well how difficult it is to get funding to support pilot studies or dissertation research.! Due to our limited funds, we are turning down numbers of qualified MNRS members’ applications for our research grants each year. We need your help to support these essential MNRS research grants.

There are a number of ways to support our grants:

  1. Join the Anniversary Circle. To honor the 35th Anniversary of MNRS regular members donate $350 and student members $35.
  2. Join the Founders’ Circle. Members donate $1,000 each year for three years to this fund which is an endowment fund to under gird the grants program.
  3. Donate when you renew your membership.
  4. Honor a Researcher. For a minimum donation of $100, an individual will be recognized at the annual conference.
  5. Contribute to a Named Grant for an individual.

All of the funds donated are used to fund Dissertation grants and Seed grants.

If each of our members gave the equivalent of the cost of a cup of coffee per week, we could fund at least 5 new Seed grants AND 3 new Dissertation grants!

Please consider these easy ways to support our research grants, and of course, your donation is tax deductible.
