Johnson & Johnson Nurse Innovation Fellowship - Applications open January 6, 2026

Aloha dear colleagues!

This ground-breaking, one-year, team-based nursing fellowship for Chief Nursing Officers (CNO), nurse executives, and senior nurse leaders, is focused on powering-up nurse-led innovation and leadership within health systems to drive transformative change in the healthcare work environment so nurses and patients can thrive. Johnson & Johnson’s sponsorship of the fellowship covers all attendance and travel costs for participants.

The hybrid in-person and virtual fellowship will immerse two nurse leaders from 15 different U.S. health systems in principles of human-centered design and design thinking to be applied to real-world, specific challenges faced by their health system.

The innovation curriculum provided by Penn Nursing will be paired with business acumen, change management and strategic leadership skills development through Wharton Executive Education. At the conclusion of the fellowship, fellows will pitch their innovative solutions with the goal of bringing that solution back to their healthcare system to implement.
