Academic Sponsoring Associations
The following information will assist you in determining the appropriate
association through which to apply:
American Association
of Colleges of Nursing (AACN)
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is the national
voice for baccalaureate and graduate nursing education. AACN's educational,
research, federal advocacy, data collection, publications, and special
programs work to establish quality standards for nursing education; assist
deans and directors to implement those standards; influence the nursing
profession to improve health care; and promote public support for professional
nursing education, research, and practice. AACN represents more than 700
member schools of nursing at public and private universities and senior
colleges nationwide. These schools offer a mix of baccalaureate, graduate,
and post-graduate programs. AACN is affiliated with the Commission of
Collegiate Nursing Education, the nation's premiere accrediting body for
baccalaureate and higher degree nursing programs.
Association for Prevention
Teaching and Research (APTR)
Established in 1942, the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research
(APTR) is the professional organization for individuals and institutions
who advance the education of physicians and other health professionals
in prevention and population health. APTR represents over 150 institutional
members and their faculty, including graduate public health programs,
medical school departments of preventive and community medicine, medical
school departments with a population health focus, health professions
schools, and various health agencies. APTR individual members are undergraduate
and graduate public health faculty, researchers, practitioners, administrators,
residents and students from across the health professions. Through the
APTR Council of Graduate Programs in Public Health, APTR is the organizing
body for the accredited and emerging graduate public health programs in
the U.S. APTR develops curricular resources, professional development
programs, and tools for its diverse membership. We bring together individuals
and institutions devoted to health promotion and disease prevention to
redefine how we educate the health professions workforce.
Association of American
