The purpose of the AMS Phoenix Project grant competition is to catalyze change in health care and education by making strategic investments that will help to engage educators, nurses and other health professionals, their workplaces and their partners in activities that will enrich understanding about what is needed to balance human compassion and technical expertise. In making their decisions, the review committee considered projects that scored highly on feasibility, potential impact and institutional support as well as the potential of the proposed projects to achieve a balance of professional/disciplinary and regional representation.
The next round of applications for the 2013/14 AMS Phoenix Project Call to Caring Grants will be available online in April 2013. For additional information visit the AMS website www.theamsphoenix.ca
