In 2009, the <strong>Inova</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> (IHS) Nursing Research Committee (NRC) continued to exp<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> solidify the infrastructure required to support nursing research excellence. The NRC includes a representative from each hospital-based research committee as well as representatives from George Mason University, the <strong>Inova</strong> Research Center, the Medical Library, the <strong>Inova</strong> Learning Network, Epidemiology <strong>and</strong> Biostatistics, <strong>and</strong> the Department of Professional Practice. The <strong>Inova</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> Nursing Research Internship program was launched in the first quarter of 2008, funded by both <strong>Inova</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> <strong>and</strong> a philanthropic donor interested in pursuing Human Caring nursing research. Through a competitive application process in 2009, ten nursing research internships were awarded across five <strong>Inova</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> hospitals. During their internship, these research interns were introduced to the research process <strong>and</strong> mentored through completion of a nursing research study. The majority of study projects focus on strategies to improve patient outcomes <strong>and</strong> the nursing work environment. The NRC continues to add to a system-wide repository <strong>for</strong> nursing research activity utilizing a shared drive <strong>and</strong> an access database. Productivity reports are available <strong>for</strong> both the system <strong>and</strong> the operating unit level. In addition, <strong>for</strong>mal guidelines were finalized to support non-<strong>Inova</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Sys- NURSING RESEARCH tem researchers conducting nursing research in collaboration with an <strong>Inova</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> registered nurse, enabling exp<strong>and</strong>ed partnerships with local university graduate programs. The NRC continues to benefit from established <strong>Inova</strong> resources in grant writing <strong>and</strong> statistician support. In 2009, NRC coordinated the 6th Annual Fall Into Nursing Research conference. The all-day conference included internal <strong>and</strong> external faculty presenting on a wide range of research topics, including the research process <strong>and</strong> presentation of research findings. A research poster sym- ������������������������������������������������� addition to the annual research conference, the NRC coordinated two 2day research workshops, aimed at increasing the skill of the novice nurse researcher.
