Opening Keynote Session
COLONY BALLROOM
Thursday, February 25 | 8:15 a.m – 9:30 a.m.
Welcome Remarks:
Cindy Munro, RN, ANP, PhD, FAAN, FAANP, SNRS President
Cindy L. Munro is the Associate Dean of Research and Innovation
at the USF College of Nursing in Tampa, FL. Dr. Munro’s research
activities focus consistently on the relationship between oral health and
the prevention of systemic disease, and have been supported by funding
of more than $8 million in direct costs as a principal or co-investigator. She recently
received a $1.78 million continuation grant from the National Institute of Nursing
Research focused on oral care in critically ill adults, and is currently studying the impact of
chlorhexidine mouthwash prior to intubation procedures on the prevention of pneumonia
in mechanically ventilated patients.
Keynote Speaker:
Ann Cashion, PhD, RN, FAAN, Scientific Director for the NINR
Division of Intramural Research (DIR)
For the past year, Dr. Cashion has served as the Acting Scientific
Director for the DIR and before that time, she was a Senior Advisor to
the Office of the NINR Director. Before coming to NIH, Dr. Cashion
held the position of Professor and Chair of the Department of Acute and Chronic Care
in the College of Nursing, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN.
Dr. Cashion has received several honors for her work and is well known nationally and
internationally.
Dr. Cashion’s previously funded research and clinical interests target genetic/genomic
and environmental components associated with outcomes of organ transplantation. In
her last funded study, she combined emerging technologies (microarrays) and behavioral
questionnaires to investigate gene-environment interactions leading to obesity in recipients
of kidney transplantations during the first year after transplant.
Dr. Cashion is on the Board of Directors for the Alumni Association of the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation Executive Nurse Fellows program and the Institute of Medicine
Roundtable on Translating Genomics –Based Research for Health. She served as co-chair
of the Genetics Expert Panel for the American Academy of Nursing and received the
International Society of Nurses in Genetics Founder’s Award in recognition of outstanding
genetics research and scholarship.

SPEAKER: Donald Chip Bailey, Representing the NIH/NINR P20 and P30 Center Directors
The Directors of currently funded NINR Centers of Excellence in Symptom Science and
Self-management are identifying common data elements (CDEs) aligned with self-management
in chronic conditions. The CDE initiative was begun to foster and support data sharing and
analysis among nursing researchers, simplify cross-study comparisons of symptoms, and facilitate
future study of more complex questions. Herein, we will describe the goals and early
accomplishments of the CDE initiative to gain input from the community on outcomes to
date and next steps in implementation. Vetting of the CDEs from the nursing science
community is essential.

Workshop 2: Developing the Next Generation
of SNRS Nurse Scientists
In its 2010 landmark report on the Future of Nursing, the Institute
of Medicine (IOM) recommended doubling the number of nurse
scientists with doctorates by 2020. This preconference workshop
is designed to strengthen the nurse scientist development pipeline
through undergraduate research training programs. The target
audience is nursing faculty and administrators interested in
developing or expanding academic nursing research internship
programs for BSN students in SNRS-affiliated universities. BSN
students are welcome (with paid preconference registration) to attend
with their faculty. The goals of the presentation and round-table
discussion are to (1) identify best practices of successful BSN nursing
research internship programs and (2) develop a sustainable platform
for BSN student research networking.

Workshop 3: Foundations for Translational, Implementation and
Improvement Science Researchers
This workshop will introduce clinical and academic nurse scientists
to the principles and methods for translational, implementation, and
improvement science. The intent of translational, implementation,
and improvement science is to move evidence into practice to impact
health. Healthcare scientists are responding to demands for studies
that test improvement and implementation strategies for quality and
patient safety, yet capacity is currently limited. This workshop explores
the new scientific approaches, methods, and resources for investigating
healthcare system barriers, change management, integration of research
into real-world settings, and learning healthcare systems. Workshop
participants will have opportunities to:
1. Describe the status of the new fields of Translational,
Implementation and Improvement Science.
2. Outline key theories underpinning these fields of science.
3. Discuss research design and methodology that are requisite for
rigorous implementation and improvement studies.
4. List resources to expand scientific capacity in nursing to conduct
implementation and improvement research.
5. Discuss implications for clinical and academic nurse scientists.
Interactive presentations will guide nurses through key topics,
including status of the new fields, key frameworks and theories,
new design and methodologies, available and necessary human and
fiscal resources, examples of studies, and implications for clinical and
academic nurse scientists.

Workshop 4: Mid-career Technical Workshop: Building a
Successful and Sustained Program of Research
Many investigators complete an initial sponsored research project,
but fail to obtain competing renewal support. Effective strategies that
maximize midcareer research productivity should enhance competing
continuation success. This result will increase the number of nurse
scientists who build and sustain successful sponsored programs of
research and ultimately advance nursing science. This workshop
is designed for investigators with at least one sponsored R level or
comparable award. Guidance from program officers, interviews
with senior and midcareer scientists, and strategies for managing
challenges to continuous research support will be presented.
Attendees will explore ways to maintain research productivity in
demanding academic environments.

Workshop 5: Successful Methods used in Rural Research
In the United States, 62 million Americans live in medically underserved
areas with 20% of these persons of minority status. HRSA has
designated these areas as not having enough primary care providers,
high infant mortality, high poverty, and a higher number of older
adults. Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) are designated by
HRSA as having shortages of primary medical care, dental or mental
health providers and may be geographic (a county or service area),
population (e.g. low income or Medicaid eligible) or facilities (e.g.
federally qualified health center or other state or federal prisons). These
Americans face different health issues than those persons who live in
urban areas where quality health care and health care access is readily
available. Persons in rural areas face unique problems and thereby may
suffer health disparities based on their geographical location including
driving long distances to hospitals during emergencies and fewer health
care providers to provide holistic health care, especially mental health
care. As well, 20% of persons in rural areas are uninsured. Persons who
live in rural areas are least likely to receive preventative care, have delays
in diagnosis of life threatening illnesses, and report higher rates of chronic
disease. Environmental exposure, like chemicals from farming, may also
contribute to poor health care outcomes. Not only is healthcare in rural
areas a difficult challenge to overcome, but conducting research in rural
areas provides its own challenges. The purpose of this presentation is
to identify ways that researchers and/or students may be successful
in conducting research in rural health. We will present a variety of
research methodologies that have been successfully used in rural
settings and discuss funding opportunities for rural health research.
The objectives of this presentation are to:
1. Describe background and specific needs for conducting rural
health research.
2. Identify appropriate methods of research focusing on resources,
expertise, time constraints, and geographical regions.
3. Provide examples of exemplar research with health outcomes of
rural health research.
4. Discuss funding opportunities for rural health research.

Workshop 6: Creating a Bridge Between Past and Present
Scientific Nursing Practice: Historical Inquiry in Nursing
The intellectual rationale for this preconference is grounded in
our experiences as historians of nursing navigating within many
disciplines as well as within the practice and scientific discipline of
nursing. We are faculty who frequently interact with undergraduate
and graduate students who are unfamiliar with their history or who
have sought but been unable to find appropriate mentors for their
history research projects. In this preconference, we seek to harness
this interest and provide an energetic way to help audience members
to bridge their knowledge gap and to engage with the historical
method as a foundational part of their empirical and critical
reasoning. We will teach the historical method as one of many ways
of knowing for nurses. This will involve bringing a different kind of
evidence and analysis to empirical research studies across all methods.
For example, we will demonstrate the integration of many ways of
knowing: narrative, exposition, and argument; and we will bridge the
gulf between qualitative and historical methodologies. We will show
how history of nursing can be a way to enhance understanding of
broader issues such as health policy, global health, religion, womens
work, and the critical contextual dynamics of race, class and gender.

Special Session: Common Data Elements Development for Selfmanagement Science in Chronic Conditions
SPEAKER: Donald Chip Bailey, Representing the NIH/NINR P20 and
P30 Center Directors
The Directors of currently funded NINR Centers of Excellence in
Symptom Science and Self-management are identifying common
data elements (CDEs) aligned with self-management in chronic
conditions. The CDE initiative was begun to foster and support
data sharing and analysis among nursing researchers, simplify
cross-study comparisons of symptoms, and facilitate future study
of more complex questions. Herein, we will describe the goals and
early accomplishments of the CDE initiative to gain input from the
community on outcomes to date and next steps in implementation.
Vetting of the CDEs from the nursing science community is essential.
