The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) will induct 23 nurse researchers into the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame at STTI’s 28th International Nursing Research Congress in Dublin, Ireland, 27-31 July 2017. On Saturday, 29 July 2017, these 23 individuals — representing Australia, Canada, Finland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States — will be presented with the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame award and participate in a conversation with STTI President Cathy Catrambone, PhD, RN, FAAN.
Created in 2010, the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame recognizes nurse researchers who have achieved significant and sustained national or international recognition and whose research has improved the profession and the people it serves. The honorees’ research projects will be shared through STTI’s Virginia Henderson Global Nursing e-Repository, enabling nurses everywhere to benefit from their discoveries and insights. The award presentation is sponsored by Wiley.
“Congratulations to these 23 individuals for their incredible combined contribution to global health and the future of nursing,” said STTI President Cathy Catrambone, PhD, RN, FAAN. “I look forward to learning more about their personal stories and achievements, and to seeing how their work inspires other researchers.”
“Wiley is delighted to sponsor STTI’s International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame awards again this year. We join with Sigma in congratulating each recipient for their significant contributions to research, leadership, and advancing health around the world,” said Wiley Publishing Manager for Nursing Kassie Stovell.
STTI’s annual international nursing research congress attracts nearly 1,000 nurse researchers, students, clinicians, and leaders, who learn from evidence-based research presentations. The theme for the 28th congress is Influencing Global Health Through the Advancement of Nursing Scholarship. To view details or register for the event, visit www.nursingsociety.org/congress.
