ICYMI: We recently announced the six innovative projects awarded Cycle 1 NDWS pilot grants. Visit ndws.org/pilot-grants to see the recipients and get inspiration for ways you can use Wave 1 data coming this summer. Applications for Cycle 2 pilot grants will open in March.

The NDWS data resource will be available free to researchers starting this summer. Use NDWS survey data to study the composition, training, and attitudes of the paid dementia care workforce, and linked data sources to examine how these factors impact care. ndws.org

Researchers: Learn more about NDWS surveys of the dementia care workforce before Wave 1 data and linked data sources are released in June. Visit ndws.org to read the questionnaires and access a survey source crosswalk to see sources and the surveys at a glance.

We are excited to announce we are now accepting proposals for Cycle 2 pilot grants! Direct costs of up to $100,000 are available for 6 to 8 projects using Wave 1 NDWS survey data of the dementia care workforce. Apply by April 28. Learn more: ndws.org/pilot-grants

ICYMI: We have pilot grants available to encourage use of our new survey data of the dementia care workforce. Apply by April 28 for up to $100,000 in direct costs for projects using Wave 1 data. Data will be released by July 1 and free for researchers. ndws.org

There is still time to submit a proposal for NDWS Cycle 2 pilot grants. Apply by April 28 for direct costs up to $100,000 for projects using Wave 1 surveys to address critical gaps in dementia workforce research. See Cycle 1 winners and learn more: ndws.org/pilot-grants

There are many ways to use new NDWS survey data and linked data sources to understand the diverse dementia care workforce. And, you can receive a pilot grant to do so. Apply by April 28 for up to $100,000 in direct costs for projects using Wave 1 data. ndws.org/pilot-grants

Thank you for applying for Cycle 2 pilot grants! Recipients will be announced in early August. While applications are now closed, NDWS survey data and linked data can be accessed for free by all researchers, not just those awarded pilots. Wave 1 data is coming by July 1.

NDWS surveys of the dementia care workforce and linked data sources offer a new way for researchers to study issues related to the knowledge, preparation, and retention of the workforce. Wave 1 data is coming by July 1. Sign up for our email list: ndws.org
