Conference Awards

Creating a local culture that encourages and supports the conduct of nurse-led studies and the application of evidence-based nursing practice is a strategic goal of The Connecticut Nursing Research Alliance.

In support of this goal, the Alliance has established poster awards to recognize excellence in the communication of research and evidence-based practice. Awards are open to all Connecticut Nursing Alliance Member Organizations.
