"Nurses are the nation's most direct link to patient safety and quality of care. We are committed to helping find the most innovative solutions to the nursing shortage so we can protect patients now and over the long term," said Susan B.

"This unique partnership of the philanthropic community helps identify new approaches that go well beyond what any one foundation could do alone."

The 2009 grant cycle marks the fourth year of funding, totaling more than $10 million of investment by the program in local partnerships. In addition, Partners Investing in Nursing's Future has leveraged more than $8 million in local and regional funding, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the projects. For more information about Partners Investing in Nursing's Future, go to www.PartnersinNursing.org.
