Decolonizing and Inclusive Representations of the History of Nursing

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

UBC Nursing Anti-Racism Committee (ARC)

DEADLINE: Completed applications must be submitted via email to ONRTS@nursing.ubc.ca by 4:00pm PST on June 15, 2022

OBJECTIVES
The University of British Columbia School of Nursing seeks applications to fund a project to visually represent the history of nursing in an antiracist/decolonizing way. The call for proposals was inspired by the problematic representations of the history of nursing that privileged European and Christian colonial roots of nursing including the using dolls as models for historic nursing uniforms. However, project proposals need not necessarily be linked to the existing display case. The UBC Nursing’s Anti-Racism Committee (ARC) is looking for applications that propose how the School might represent an inclusive history of nursing visually. A clear expectation of a funded project is the ability to produce the scholarly deliverable.

ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for an ARC Grant, the Principal Investigator must currently hold a full-time, tenure-track appointment in the UBC-Vancouver School of Nursing. Participation by undergraduate and graduate students in the proposed project is encouraged. Their responsibilities should be clearly explained in the application. Likewise, the inclusion of wider team members such as alumni, staff, and friends of the School are welcomed.

GUIDELINES

  1. Grants must articulate clearly defined scholarly objectives and methods as well as a concrete deliverable for visual display in the School of Nursing.
  2. Grants are given for a maximum period of one year (plus automatic one-year extension). Funding will not be extended beyond two years.
  3. Grants have a project maximum of $3,000.
  4. Allowable expenses are outlined in the Tri-Agency Financial Administration Guide. Eligibility questions should be directed to the ONRTS office for clarification.

SELECTION PROCESS
Eligible applications will be evaluated by a committee composed of members of the UBC Nursing Anti-Racist Committee (ARC) and other recruited faculty reviewers. The committee members will assess the proposals according to the following evaluation criteria:

  • Challenge – the aim and importance of the endeavour
  • Feasibility – the plan to achieve excellence
  • Capability – the expertise to succeed
