note = "Funding Information: Despite nurses generalized lack of knowledge about geriatric care, the past 20 years have seen the development of some exciting new roles for nurses in the delivery of care for older adults. Of particular importance have been the programs funded by the John A. Hartford Foundation (JAHF; www.gni.org ). With an investment of more than $35 million, the nursing programs funded by JAHF have substantially strengthened nursing education, practice, and research and have positioned nursing to take a leadership position in assuring quality care to older adults.
