Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity Program: BAGNC

In 2000, in partnership with the American Academy of Nursing, the John A. Hartford Foundation launched the multi-million dollar Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity (BAGNC) Program to produce expert researchers, academicians and practitioners who will lead the field of gerontology nursing and ultimately improve the care of the elderly. The program includes the Hartford Centers of Geriatric Nursing Excellence, listed below, and the distinguished Scholar & Fellow Awards Program.
