In Africa, nurses and midwives constitute the largest percentage of the healthcare workforce and play a critical role at the frontline of healthcare delivery. This presents a unique opportunity for them to contribute to evidence-based practice through research and the development of relevant research questions. However, a significant number of nurses lack the essential skills in grant writing, which is crucial for identifying funding opportunities to support research endeavours.

To bridge this gap and empower nurses and midwives, we are pleased to announce a one-day workshop focused on equipping participants with grant writing skills for research.

Workshop/Webinar aim and learning objectives:

The primary aim of this workshop is to equip nurses and midwives with the necessary skills in grant writing for research purposes. By the end of the workshop, participants will achieve the following specific learning objectives:

1. Define the concept of grant writing and its significance in research funding.
2. Describe the funding context and landscape for grant applications.
3. Identify and understand the general components of a grant application.
4. Gain insights into key factors influencing funding organizations' decision-making processes.
5. Discuss and internalize the principles of successful grant writing to enhance their chances of securing research funding.

With these valuable skills, nurses and midwives in Africa will be better positioned to pursue research opportunities, contribute to evidence-based practice, and make significant advancements in healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. The workshop promises to be an enlightening and practical learning experience, empowering participants to secure funding for their research initiatives and ultimately contribute to the advancement of healthcare in the region.
