What is the difference between a DNP project and a PhD dissertation?

A PhD generates new knowledge. A DNP project translates existing evidence into practice in a specific setting and evaluates the result. The DNP is assessed on implementation, measurable practice change and sustainability rather than on originality of findings.

This comes up on DNP Project Writing Support, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
