The National Council for the Professional Development of Nursing and Midwifery was established in 1999 to oversee the development of specialist roles in Irish nursing and midwifery. Frameworks for Clinical Nurse/Midwife Specialist (CNS/CMS) and Advanced Nurse/Midwife Practitioners (ANP/AMP) were developed. Such roles are now evident throughout Irish clinical nursing and midwifery practice with over 2050 CNS/CMS and almost 70 ANP/AMP in 2009. These roles have clear research remits. The National Council recognises that support to build the capacity of this aspect of the roles is required. In addition, the opportunity for CNS/CMS and ANP/AMP to develop a track record in securing research funding is to be welcomed. To this end, the National Council is providing funding to the Health Research Board in order to support a call for applications for Junior Clinician Scientist for Nursing and Midwifery award 2009. Since 2003, when the scheme was initiated 3 awards have been made.
The purpose of this award is to enable CNS/CMS or ANP/AMP in Ireland to conduct research on a part-time basis leading to a postgraduate research degree at masters or doctoral level. The research must have a clinical focus. Considering the outcome of the National Council’s Nursing and Midwifery Research Priorities for Ireland applications evaluating health care interventions are particularly welcomed.

The funding provided for this award is a €30,000 contribution per annum for up to two or three years depending on the project and the post-graduate qualification sought. In addition, a €5,000 per annum contribution towards fees and running costs will be available.
