Better Vision Together Community of Practice Opportunity

NASN is pleased to support the National Center for Children's Vision and Eye Health at Prevent Blindness's new Community of Practice, peer-to-peer learning activity, to assist states and communities in improving the vision and eye health of children ages 5-years old and younger. The Community of Practice, titled Better Vision Together, will launch on January 4, 2019 and will support 5-10 state- and community-level teams who wish to improve vision and eye health in at-risk, minority, and vulnerable populations of young children ages 0 to 5-years old.  Teams will engage with their peers via regular communication, seek advice from experts, share resources and best practices, and identify solutions to shared issues.  Five teams will receive an annual $10,000 stipend over the period of three years in return for providing process and outcomes measures data. An additional five additional state/community teams will be selected to participate but will not receive stipends. To be considered for participation, look for the online application Friday January 4, 2019. Applications are due Monday, February 25, 2019.  See the attached document for additional information.
