The Midwest Nursing Research Society Foundation is initiating a new service that will raise funds for the MNRS Grants program. We are developing a roster of experts who will agree to do one presubmission grant review and/or one manuscript review per year with the payment for this service to be made directly to The Midwest Nursing Research Society Foundation. Please consider if you could agree to provide this service to help raise funds for MNRS grants to our members.
An additional benefit of this program will be the availability of a roster of members and their expertise that can be used by others to identify and contact potential consultants or mentors.
Learn more here, and if applicable, apply here.
THE ROSTER
Here is a roster of experts who have will agreed to do one pre-submission grant review and/or one manuscript review per year with the payment for this service to be made directly to The Midwest Nursing Research Society Foundation.
A minimum of $500 be charged for smaller grants. Multi-facetted grants, such as the RO1s, T32, P30, center grants, and other larger grants will be charged a minimum of $1,000. The Board of Trustees recommend these charges, but the fee is negotiable by the reviewer and reviewee. For a manuscript review, we recommend a minimum of $250.
