note = "Funding Information: Research about pain management nursing provides rigorous evidence to develop new pain management strategies, improve pain management practice, and further refine pain-related healthcare policies. The Federal Pain Research Strategy ( Gatchel et al., 2018 ) summarized areas in which knowledge development is critically needed, including understanding pain mechanisms, phenotypes, management; the impact of pain on individuals, families, communities, and society; and disparities in pain care. Grant writing is an essential step to advance research about pain management nursing. Writing a compelling grant proposal is one skill that must be cultivated to conduct high-quality and high-impact pain nursing research. For nurses with little exposure to grant writing and application processes, they can provoke anxiety, uncertainty, and worry. To combat these negative feelings, there are several “tips” that can promote successful grant writing. Taking time to learn from the setbacks and successes of others can increase the chances of securing grant funds and disseminating findings ( Gholipour et al., 2014 ; Sohn, 2020 ). As PhD prepared nurses (not necessarily have a PhD to be part of a grant) who have successfully competed for research funding from various types of funding agencies, we offer several key “tips” that have helped us prepare and write grant applications and disseminate findings from the research studies supported by them.
