Opportunity Information: Apply for HU0001 18 TSNRP 0002

The TriService Nursing Research Program (TSNRP) "Open Call" Funding Opportunity Announcement is a government grant opportunity that supports military nursing research and evidence-based practice (EBP) projects. TSNRP was established in 1992 and is housed within the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU). Through its statutory authority under 10 USC 2113(g)(1)(A), USU can issue grants to nonprofit entities to carry out cooperative efforts in medical research, medical consultation, and medical education. In practical terms, this means TSNRP can fund qualified nonprofit organizations to conduct projects that strengthen the scientific foundation and real-world effectiveness of nursing practice in military health settings.

The core purpose of this opportunity is to fund rigorous scientific research studies and EBP projects specifically tied to military nursing. TSNRP positions itself as both a funder and a capacity-builder: it not only provides financial support for projects, but also supports nurse scientists through education, mentoring, and career development across all career stages. The program has a long track record, reporting more than 430 funded research and EBP projects since it began. The announcement also points to its ongoing competitive nature and active funding posture by noting that 19 applications were successfully funded in Fiscal Year 2016, which gives prospective applicants a sense that awards are made regularly but are selective.

This open call is aligned to TSNRP's mission of facilitating nursing research that improves and optimizes the health of military service members and their beneficiaries. That beneficiary group typically includes individuals who receive care through military health systems, which can extend beyond active duty personnel to family members and other eligible populations depending on the context of the project. The emphasis on optimizing health signals that projects may span prevention, readiness, acute care, recovery, long-term outcomes, and system-level improvements, as long as the work is grounded in the nursing discipline and has relevance to military healthcare delivery or operational environments.

The opportunity is framed around five strategic goals that define what TSNRP is trying to build over time and what kinds of proposals are likely to fit well. First, TSNRP aims to advance a culture of scientific inquiry and scholarly knowledge application, meaning it values projects that not only generate findings but also strengthen habits of inquiry, measurement, and disciplined implementation within military nursing. Second, it seeks to advocate mission-critical priorities by building a military nursing research science base, which points applicants toward topics that matter to operational readiness, clinical effectiveness in military contexts, and evidence that can inform policy or practice across services. Third, TSNRP intends to expand infrastructure to support and develop nursing research and EBP, suggesting interest in projects that create tools, methods, pathways, collaborations, or implementation structures that make research and EBP easier to conduct and sustain. Fourth, it invests in military nurse scientists and programs of research, signaling support for investigator development and longer-term research trajectories rather than isolated one-off studies. Fifth, it aims to foster interservice nursing research capacity, which emphasizes cross-service collaboration and shared learning across different branches, reducing silos and increasing the scale and transferability of lessons learned.

Overall, the TSNRP Open Call is best understood as a standing funding mechanism for nonprofit-led cooperative work that advances military nursing science and the practical application of evidence in care settings that support service members and their healthcare beneficiaries. Competitive proposals under this kind of announcement generally align tightly with military relevance, demonstrate strong scientific or implementation rigor, and show clear pathways to impact, whether through new knowledge, improved clinical practices, enhanced readiness outcomes, or strengthened research capacity across the military nursing community.
