Nursing Competencies and Practice: / Patient outcomes
Quality and safety
Translate research into practice/evidence-based practice
Clinical excellence
Knowledge management
Education and training
Leadership, Ethics, and Mentoring: / Health policy
Recruitment and retention
Preparing tomorrow’s leaders
Care of the caregiver
Other:(specify)

Secondary Priority (if applicable; otherwise delete the words “Secondary Priority” and the duplicate table below )

Progress Towards Achievement of Specific Aims of the Study or Project

There is no page limit for this section of the report.

Findings related to each specific aim, research or study questions, and/or hypothesis: List the specific aims, research or study questions, and/or hypotheses as written in your funded grant application, documented in the Statement of Work (refer to the Continuation Sheet of the Grant Agreement, Base Award), and/or addressed in modifications to the Grant Agreement, Base Award. Write sufficient information to thoroughly describe the research findings and accomplishments with respect to each specific aim, research question, and/or hypothesis of the study or project. For purposes of this report, it is not necessary to include an extensive literature review, details about the theoretical framework or model, or methods. Rather, focus on findings, outcomes, and new knowledge generated from your study. Embed all tables and figures such that they appear near their mention in the text. Number all tables and figures; clearly label all figures. Add a legend as well as a key to any abbreviations and symbols for both tables and figures.

Relationship of current findings to previous findings: Discuss the new findings when considered in the context of previously published studies or projects by your team and/or other investigators.

Effect of problems or obstacles on the results: Describe how any problems or obstacles were or were not overcome and how this may have affected the results.

Limitations:Describe characteristics of the design, methodology, or data that threaten internal validity of the study, threaten reliability of measures, and/or set parameters on how the findings are interpreted or applied. For instance, 1) findings from a study sample of 90% men may not be generalizable to women, 2) although randomization may result in like groups, high attrition rates in the control group may result in dissimilarities that are unrelated to the intervention, and 3) repeated equipment malfunctions may produce measurement errors.

Conclusion:End with a conclusion that succinctly summarizes key results and the degree to which each specific aim was achieved. Do not introduce new information in the conclusion. Ensure that the conclusion is justified by the data.

Significance of Study or ProjectResults to Military Nursing

This section is critically important. Clearly detail how the results are significant to military nursing clinical practice, leadership, management, education, and/or policy. Summarize new knowledge, and describe how the findings narrowed or closed a research gap. Comment on the quality and generalizability of the new knowledge. Based on your findings, include recommendations for future research.Maximum of 2 pages.

Changes in Clinical Practice, Leadership, Management, Education, Policy, and/or Military Doctrine that Resulted from Study or Project

This section is critically important. Although similar to the previous section, detailhere how the results already contributed to objective, quantifiable, and/or measurable changes in military nursing clinical practice, leadership, management, education, and/or policy. The key is to describe the nature, scope, impact, and outcome of the enacted changes. Again, provide detailed information aboutactualchanges rather than conjecturing about how the results of the study or project maycontribute to changes. For example, the US Central Command Joint Theater Trauma System Clinical Practice Guideline titled ______was revised to… The Navy revised its predeployment training program for nurses and medical technicians to include… The Army issued a Fragmentary Order (FRAGO) that now requires...The Army, Navy, and Air Force disseminated a practice alert titled ______on ______to caution clinicians about… If no changes made, document “none to date” and please provide to the TriService Nursing Research Program when known. Maximum of 2 pages.
