INDIANAPOLIS — The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) will induct 19 nurse researchers into the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame at STTI’s 27th International Nursing Research Congress in Cape Town, South Africa, 21-25 July 2016. On Saturday, 23 July 2016, these 19 individuals —representing the countries of Canada, England, Lebanon, South Africa, Taiwan, 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.
“These cumulative research achievements of these 19 honorees has been nothing short of life changing,” said STTI President Cathy Catrambone, PhD, RN, FAAN. “We celebrate their achievements in advancing world health, and I offer my personal congratulations. I look forward to learning and sharing more about their contributions.”
“Wiley proudly recognizes the efforts of this year's recipients of the STTI’s International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame awards. We congratulate each individual recipient for their significant contributions towards outstanding research, leadership, and efforts in advancing health around the world. As in years past, we enthusiastically support nursing researchers for their high impact on the nursing profession and their contributions to improving patient outcomes” 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 27th congress is Leading Global Research: Advancing Practice, Advocacy and Policy. To view details or register for the event, visit http://congress.nursingsociety.org.
