This free Accelerator invites participants to explore content areas focused on human-centered design, business models, entrepreneurship/intrapreneurship, intellectual property, and leadership.</p> <h3>Participants Who Completed the 2023 Accelerator Said</h3> <ul> <li>95% <strong>strongly agreed </strong>that participating in the ANA Innovation Accelerator prepared them to advance or lead positive change across healthcare.</li> <li>84% <strong>strongly agreed</strong> that information learned in the ANA Innovation Accelerator was utilized to lead in their professional role.</li> <li><em>“I used the information I learned in the ANA Innovation Accelerator to build innovation workshops for our clinical nurses.”</em></li> <li><em>“I launched my business a month after starting the Accelerator. It gave me the confidence I needed and a community that offered support and encouragement.”</em></li> </ul> <hr style="margin-top: 50px; border-bottom: 1px solid #991a63; border-top: 0;" /> <h3>Criteria</h3> <p>Open to nurses who have participated in ANA Innovation initiatives (e.g., NursePitch <sup>(TM)</sup> and/or the Innovation Awards). Invites and applications will be sent directly to these individuals. Applications for the 2025 ANA Innovation Accelerator will open in November of 2024.</p> <p>We extended the ability to apply for the ANA Innovation Accelerator to a few additional groups:</p> <h4><strong>Prelicensure Nursing Students</strong></h4> <p>The Accelerator will position nursing students as emerging leaders in innovation practice and foster the skills and abilities necessary to successfully role model nurse-led innovation as they move into the future.<em> *Note - select seats for this category. Nursing student applicants must be enrolled in a pre-licensure program at the time of application. </em></p> <h4><strong>Nurses of Color</strong></h4> <p>The Accelerator will position nurses of color for broader opportunities across the nursing profession. Nurses already interested in innovation and leading innovative work can advance their ideas and amplify their work across larger platforms. <em>*Note - select seats for this category. </em></p> <h4><strong>Nursing Educators (Faculty, Clinical Educator, CNS, Professional Development)</strong></h4> <p>The Accelerator will position nursing educators to expand innovative content for nurses and nursing students.
