Abstract

National Policy Recommendations in Support of Nursing Science
In the last issue of Nursing Outlook, the Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science (CANS) addressed the topic of setting priorities for nursing science to meet the contemporary health care needs of our communities. CANS is an open member affiliate organization of the American Academy of Nursing. The CANS leadership is composed of elected officers as well as appointed members from the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), Sigma Theta Tau International, American Nurses Foundation, and the four regional research societies, (Midwest, Eastern, and Southern Nursing Research Societies and the Western Institute of Nursing). This broad representation positions CANS to collaborate with our current and potential partners to raise and distribute funds for competitive research grants in areas that are strategically important for nursing science. In this column, we propose recommendations for translating research priorities into an action plan. The topics of funding, education, and training of future scientists, as well as ethics are examined.
