AB  - Colleges of Nursing (CONs) and health care organizations (HCOs) are increasingly 
      embracing academic-practice partnerships (AcaPP). An HCO's workforce development 
      plan prompted an AcaPP agreement with a CON for the purpose of increasing the 
      number of doctor of nursing practice (DNP) advanced practice nurses in the HCO. 
      Over a period of 6 years, 4 consecutive cohorts of approximately 100 HCO 
      baccalaureate prepared nurses were enrolled in the CON DNP program. The AcaPP 
      environment facilitates large-scale DNP projects among successive cohorts of 
      students. The purpose of this article is to describe the innovative Tiered DNP 
      Project Model, defined as the process by which current students build on and 
      expand select DNP projects implemented by students in initial cohorts. The tiered 
      approach to the DNP project is facilitated by an advising model that occurs in 
      the context of mutually agreed-upon goals and compatible with the HCO strategic 
      plan and CON DNP program objectives. In the Tiered DNP Project Model, select 
      studies are chosen for continuation by DNP students in subsequent cohorts based 
      on nursing leadership guidance of alignment with HCO strategic goals. The model 
      has resulted in driving improvements in HCO patient and systems outcomes, 
      promoted practice scholarship, and contributed to the quality of the CON DNP 
      program.
