As one of the association's most prestigious honors, the AACN Distinguished Research Lectureship recognizes significant contributions to acute and critical care nursing research. The award is sponsored by Philips Healthcare.
Since 1982, AACN has honored a nationally known researcher to present the annual Distinguished Research Lecture at the National Teaching Institute and Critical Care Exposition. The recipient of this award is nationally recognized as a nurse researcher, known for publications, presentations, mentorship, and consultation in research relevant to acute and critical care nursing.
Eligible candidates are nationally known researchers who have made significant contributions to acute and critical care nursing through research. Candidates must be current members of AACN.
Nominations may be submitted until December 1. Nominees will be required to submit an application to candidacy, agree to present a summary of their work at the National Teaching Institute, and submit an abstract and manuscript to the American Journal of Critical Care. A panel of experts, including past Distinguished Research Lecturers, will select award recipients.
The award includes an honorarium of $2,000, part of which is intended to cover speaking and travel expenses for the AACN National Teaching Institute and Critical Care Exposition.
