The American Nurses Foundation (ANF) grant program has been successful in funding nurse researchers' initial research studies for nearly 60 years. (ANF, 2013). From 1955-2012, over 1,000 ANF scholars have been identified through this historical nursing research study. Over the years, obtaining an ANF grant has become increasingly competitive for scholars. The environment supportive of research is evident from the schools that are the top recipients of grants. The ANF has a proud legacy of scholars who have and continue to make contributions to the advancement of nursing science. The paths forged by the ANF scholars illustrate the significant role that small grant programs play in the evolvement of nursing research and the expansion of nursing science.
美国护士基金会（ANF）的资助项目在近60年里一直成功地为护士研究人员的初步研究提供资金。（ANF，2013年）。从1955年到2012年，通过这项历史性的护理研究，已确定了1000多名ANF学者。多年来，获得ANF资助对学者来说竞争越来越激烈。从获得资助最多的学校可以明显看出支持研究的环境。ANF拥有一批引以为傲的学者，他们过去和现在都在为护理科学的进步做出贡献。ANF学者所开创的道路说明了小额资助项目在护理研究发展和护理科学拓展中所起的重要作用。
