“…Dreher et al () found that institutional support for scholarly productivity was one of the most common concerns about the future of doctoral nursing education among their sample. This study confirmed Dreher et al's prediction that growth in DNP programs would outpace that of PhD programs.…”

“…As schools of nursing experience a shift toward higher proportions of faculty with DNP degrees, they need to strategically plan corporate approaches to fulfill their research mission. As Dreher et al () observed, the senior faculty members with research expertise are aging out of the system faster than the next generation can be developed. The growth of DNP programs requires reallocation of institutional resources, human and material, to support them.…”

The Institute of Medicine has recommended doubling the number of doctorally prepared nurses in the United States by 2020 to ensure that sufficient numbers of faculty are available to prepare the nursing labor force that is needed for delivery of healthcare services. Nurse scientists are needed to contribute to improvement in patient care quality and safety, and practice leaders are needed to facilitate the translation of research into safe, high-quality, and cost-effective care. The landscape of doctoral education in nursing is rapidly changing.

“…The shortage of nursing faculty was the driving force behind the development of the NFS program. It was important that an initiative be developed to address the faculty shortage because it was predicted that there would not be enough faculty available to teach in PhD programs in future years (Dreher, Smith Glasgow, & Cornelius, 2012). The number of research-focused doctoral programs increased 65% between 2001 ( n = 86) and 2010 ( n = 133), intensifying the demand for research-savvy faculty (Kim, Park, Park, Khan, & Ketefian, 2014).…”

Background The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nurse Faculty Scholars program was conceptualized as not only promoting the growth and development of early-career faculty but as enhancing the research infrastructure of scholars’ schools of nursing. Purpose At the completion of the scholars’ three years of support, deans/directors were asked to provide feedback regarding the institutional impact of the scholars’ participation in the program. Methods Phone interviews were conducted on the first five completed cohorts and a six-item questionnaire was developed to obtain some quantitative data. Discussion: The program was viewed as having accelerated the scholars’ leadership and scholarship, and their influence within the school/university and regionally/nationally. Deans/directors generally agreed that the scholars’ experience helped build the school’s research portfolio. Conclusion Looking back on how the participating schools of nursing fared, one can say that the program’s institutional expectations were achieved most of the time. The program helped scholars build their own reputations and that in turn had consequences for the school’s standing as a whole. A number of components are described that can be replicated singly or in various combinations by schools/universities interested in adopting aspects of this program.
