In 2000, the John A. Hartford Foundation launched a multi-million dollar investment in Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity (BAGNC) at the American Academy of Nursing (AAN). After a decade of focused support to increase scholarship, research, leadership, and institutional collaboration, is there evidence this program is successful in achieving its goals? Equally important, as the need for quality geriatric nursing care increases with the expanding aging population and associated complex health conditions, how does the experience and outcomes of this program inform nursing's future? To address both questions, the authors first provide an overview of geriatric nursing prior to and up to the time the BAGNC program began, then review results of an external evaluation of the BAGNC program, and finally propose goals and strategies for the next 20 years of academic geriatric nursing.
2000 年，约翰·A·哈特福德基金会（John A. Hartford Foundation）投入数百万美元，在美国护理学院（American Academy of Nursing，AAN）启动了一项名为“构建学术老年护理能力”（Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity，BAGNC）的项目。经过十年的重点支持，该项目在提高学术水平、研究、领导力和机构合作方面取得了显著成就。那么，该项目是否成功实现了其目标呢？同样重要的是，随着老龄化人口的不断增加以及随之而来的复杂健康状况，对高质量老年护理的需求也在不断增加，该项目的经验和成果将如何为护理的未来提供指导？为了回答这两个问题，作者首先概述了 BAGNC 项目启动前及启动时的老年护理情况，然后回顾了对 BAGNC 项目的外部评估结果，最后提出了未来 20 年学术老年护理的目标和战略。
