Opportunity Information: Apply for HU0001 18 TSNRP 0001

The TriService Nursing Research Program (TSNRP) "A Call" is a U.S. government grant opportunity focused on advancing the science and practice of military nursing through high-quality research and evidence-based practice (EBP) projects. Established in 1992, TSNRP exists to strengthen nursing knowledge and improve health outcomes for military personnel, their families, and other beneficiaries served by the Military Health System. The program emphasizes rigor and practical relevance, meaning proposed projects are expected to produce credible findings and usable evidence that can inform real-world nursing practice in operational, clinical, and deployed settings.

This funding opportunity supports two broad categories of work. First, it funds scientific research studies that generate new knowledge relevant to military nursing, which can include clinical, operational, behavioral, or systems-focused investigations as long as the nursing perspective and military relevance are clear. Second, it supports EBP projects that translate existing research into practice by implementing and evaluating evidence-based interventions, guidelines, or care processes. In general terms, TSNRP funding is meant to help nursing leaders and investigators identify important military health and readiness challenges, test solutions, and then move successful approaches into routine care.

Organizationally, TSNRP is housed within the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU). USU is the federal health sciences university supporting the Department of Defense, and TSNRP being located there signals that the program is closely tied to military medical training, research, and operational health priorities. The legal authority that underpins this grant-making capability is found in Title 10 of the U.S. Code, section 2113(g)(1)(A), which authorizes USU to make grants to nonprofit entities to carry out cooperative enterprises in medical research, medical consultation, and medical education. In practical terms, that statutory authority is what allows TSNRP to fund eligible nonprofit organizations to partner in efforts that contribute to medical and nursing research, consultation, and education missions connected to the military health enterprise.

Overall, the TSNRP "A Call" can be understood as a targeted investment mechanism designed to build and apply evidence in military nursing. It supports work that not only meets scientific standards but also helps shape policies, clinical practices, training, and care delivery in ways that matter to readiness and patient outcomes. By funding both knowledge generation (research studies) and knowledge implementation (EBP projects), the program aims to close the gap between what is known and what is done in military nursing settings, ensuring that care is guided by the best available evidence and tailored to the unique demands of military populations and environments.

The focus is on producing credible findings and usable evidence that can inform real-world nursing practice across operational, clinical, and deployed settings.

What is the overall purpose of TSNRP?

TSNRP exists to strengthen nursing knowledge and improve health outcomes for military personnel, their families, and other beneficiaries served by the Military Health System. The program is designed to help nursing leaders and investigators identify important military health and readiness challenges, test solutions, and move successful approaches into routine care.

When was TSNRP established?

TSNRP was established in 1992.

What types of projects does TSNRP "A Call" fund?

This opportunity supports two broad categories:

  • Scientific research studies that generate new knowledge relevant to military nursing.
  • Evidence-based practice (EBP) projects that translate existing research into practice by implementing and evaluating evidence-based interventions, guidelines, or care processes.

What is the difference between a scientific research study and an EBP project under this funding opportunity?

Scientific research studies are intended to generate new knowledge (for example, by investigating clinical, operational, behavioral, or health system questions relevant to military nursing). EBP projects are focused on applying what is already known by implementing and evaluating evidence-based interventions or practices to improve care delivery and outcomes in military nursing settings.

What kinds of research topics are considered relevant?

Research may be clinical, operational, behavioral, or systems-focused, as long as the nursing perspective and military relevance are clear. Projects are expected to address issues that matter to military health, readiness, and care delivery.

What does TSNRP mean by emphasizing rigor and practical relevance?

The program emphasizes that proposed projects should meet strong scientific and quality standards (rigor) while also producing results that can be used in real-world military nursing practice (practical relevance). The aim is evidence that can inform day-to-day care, training, and decision-making in settings that may include operational and deployed environments.

Who benefits from the work funded by TSNRP?

The intended beneficiaries include military personnel, their families, and other beneficiaries served by the Military Health System. The broader goal is improved health outcomes and readiness through stronger evidence and better implementation of best practices in military nursing.

Where is TSNRP housed organizationally?

TSNRP is housed within the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), the federal health sciences university that supports the Department of Defense.

Why does it matter that TSNRP is located within USU?

Being located within USU signals that the program is closely tied to military medical training, research, and operational health priorities. It positions TSNRP within a federal health sciences institution aligned with Department of Defense needs.

What is the legal authority behind TSNRP grants?

The statutory authority is found in Title 10 of the U.S. Code, section 2113(g)(1)(A). This provision authorizes USU to make grants to nonprofit entities to carry out cooperative enterprises in medical research, medical consultation, and medical education.

Who is eligible to receive TSNRP funding based on the stated authority?

Based on the cited statutory authority, USU is authorized to make grants to nonprofit entities to support cooperative enterprises in medical research, medical consultation, and medical education connected to the military health enterprise.

Does TSNRP funding support partnerships or cooperative work?

Yes. The stated legal authority specifically references grants to nonprofit entities to carry out cooperative enterprises in medical research, medical consultation, and medical education. In practical terms, this supports partnering efforts that contribute to military health and nursing-related missions.

How does TSNRP help close the gap between research and practice?

TSNRP supports both knowledge generation (through scientific research studies) and knowledge implementation (through EBP projects). By funding both, the program aims to reduce the gap between what is known and what is done in military nursing, helping ensure care is guided by the best available evidence and tailored to military populations and environments.

What kinds of settings are TSNRP projects expected to impact?

Projects are expected to produce evidence usable in real-world nursing practice, including operational, clinical, and deployed settings. The emphasis is on applicability to the unique demands of military populations and environments.

How can TSNRP-funded work influence the Military Health System?

By producing credible findings and usable evidence, TSNRP-funded projects can help shape policies, clinical practices, training, and care delivery approaches in ways that support readiness and improve patient outcomes within the military health enterprise.

What is meant by "military relevance" in proposed projects?

Military relevance means the project clearly connects to military nursing priorities, the needs of military personnel and beneficiaries, and/or the realities of delivering care within the Military Health System, including operational and deployed contexts.

What is the main goal of TSNRP "A Call" in practical terms?

In practical terms, TSNRP "A Call" is a targeted investment mechanism to build and apply evidence in military nursing by funding work that tests solutions to military health and readiness challenges and supports adoption of successful approaches into routine care.
