Honorees will be recognized during Sigma’s 33rd International Nursing Research Congress
INDIANAPOLIS —The Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma) will recognize five emerging nurse researchers and scholars at Sigma’s 33rd International Nursing Research Congress in Edinburgh, Scotland in July. The awardees represent five of Sigma’s global regions: Asia, Europe, Latin and South America/Caribbean, North America, and Oceania.
Since 2015, the Emerging Nurse Researcher/Scholar Award has recognized early career nurse researchers and scholars from each of Sigma’s seven global regions whose research or scholarship has influenced the nursing profession and the people it serves.
“I am honored to recognize our outstanding emerging nurse researchers and scholars,” said Sigma President Kenneth Dion, PhD, MSN, MBA, RN, FAAN. “These five individuals are creating a foundation for groundbreaking careers in nursing research and knowledge. I look forward to seeing their continued work and impact.”
Sigma’s annual nursing research congress attracts approximately 800 nurse researchers, students, clinicians, and leaders focused on evidence-based research. The theme for the 33rd International Nursing Research Congress is Transforming Global Nursing Knowledge Through Research, Scholarship, and Innovation.
