Honorees will be recognized during Sigma’s 36th International Nursing Research Congress
INDIANAPOLIS —The Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma) will recognize four emerging nurse researchers and scholars at Sigma’s 36th International Nursing Research Congress in Seattle in July. The awardees represent Sigma’s Asia, Middle East, North America, and Oceania regions.

“It is a joy and an honor to recognize the four Emerging Nurse Researchers and Scholars of 2025,” said Sigma President Sandra C. Garmon Bibb, DNSc, RN, FFNMRCSI, FAAN. “I applaud your decision to focus on nursing scientific research and improve lives worldwide by elevating global healthcare. This early career recognition is a vote of confidence in your important work. I celebrate this award with you, and I look forward to seeing you continue to excel.”
