Community-Partnered Nursing Research Centers

Community-Partnered Nursing Research Centers (P20) is NINR's center-building route for accredited Schools and Colleges of Nursing. It supports nurse-led, community-engaged research centers that strengthen centralized research resources, build interdisciplinary teams, and make community engagement part of the center's core activity. The award provides up to $500,000 a year in direct costs for a five-year project period, plus indirect costs, and the program runs annually in the United States. PAR-25-439 is the active notice, posted in late 2025, and the first application due date was January 25, 2026, with the next cycle set for January 25, 2027. The best fit is a nursing school that can show a credible community partnership model, a plan for pilot studies, and a case for shared infrastructure. Because the mechanism is P20, the point is to build a durable center rather than a single project, with shared resources that can support more than one research team.
