Funding Information:
The OCNE partnership provides infrastructure needed to support faculty scholarship and nursing education research. Two Nursing Education Research Grants funded by the National League for Nursing involve community college and university partner schools (Docherty & Dieckmann, 2015; Sideras et al., 2013). Many faculty members have published manuscripts in peer-reviewed academic journals or have provided refereed and invited speaking engagements at national and international conferences featuring aspects of OCNE. Several OCNE faculty have completed dissertations involving elements of the OCNE curriculum (Gubrud-Howe, 2008; Lasater, 2007; Nielsen, 2016; Sideras, 2007), and doctoral students enrolled at OHSU have also explored aspects of OCNE innovations for their dissertation research (Franklin, Gubrud-Howe, Sideras, & Lee, 2015; Garrigues, Cartwright, & Bliss, 2017; Jessee, 2015; Negishi, in progress; Raber, 2013).
