Meeting the nation's health objectives: special project grants.
The purpose of this article is to encourage and motivate the nursing community to become active partners with the US Public Health Service in meeting the health objectives for the nation by the year 2000. The three major public health goals to be achieved during the 1990s are identified. The Special Project Grant Program in the Division of Nursing, Bureau of Health Professions, Health Resources and Services Administration, United States Public Health Service, is described as an opportune resource for nurses to use in their search for funds to demonstrate the ability and capacity of nursing to promote health and prevent disease in this nation's high-risk and underserved populations. Several descriptions of highly successful grants, funded by the Division of Nursing's Special Project Grant Program, are featured as motivating examples of creative and original endeavors by nursing to assist in meeting this nation's health objectives during the 1990s.
