-== Nursing Education and Research Foundation Oral History Project ==
+<p>The Nursing Education and Research Foundation (NERF) was set up in 1968. It is a registered charitable trust and is registered with the Charities Commission (registration number: CC11458).</p>
-<p>NERF promotes excellence in nursing and health care by providing funding opportunities for education and research.</p>
+<p>The origins of NERF can be traced back to a memorial fund established to commemorate the life and work of Flora J Cameron OBE (former Director, Division of Nursing) who died in 1966.</p>
-<p>We are based in Wellington and offer a range of scholarships and funding opportunities through the New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) website: www.nzno.org.nz </p><p></p>
+<p>At that time money was donated by New Zealand nurses as a memorial to Flora and the then New Zealand Nurses Association (NZNA) built on this to establish a larger and more permanent fund to provide New Zealand nurses with travel grants, scholarships and other assistance to enhance opportunities for continuing education and professional development.</p>
-<p>In 1982, NERF began the first in a series of projects to collect the oral histories of nurses in New Zealand. A total of 22 volunteer interviewers undertook 185 oral history interviews that were deposited with the Alexander Turnbull Library Oral History Centre in September 1984. These included:</p><p></p>
+<p>Since then there have been a number of bequests/donations to NERF and the fund has grown over the years. NERF now supports nurses and midwives and students of nursing with a range of grants & scholarships.</p>

The Deed is managed by a Board of Trustees of 7 people including 4 New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) representatives, 1 member of NERF Associates, 1 lay person and 1 person with business experience. NZNO provides all administrative support.</p>
