The End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) was originally supported by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (Geraldine Bednash, PhD, FAAN, Principal Investigator) and City of Hope (Betty Ferrell, PhD, FAAN, Principal Investigator). The investigators acknowledge the many contributions of the ELNEC-Critical Care faculty, including the lead consultants Connie Dahlin and Meg Campbell, as well as Patrick Coyne, Peggy Kalowes, Pat Murphy, and Debra Wiegand. The investigators are especially grateful to the ELNEC-Critical Care participants who have improved the care at end of life for their patients as a result of participating in this program.
