Distinguished Nurse Scholar-in-Residence Program

The Distinguished Nurse Scholar-in-Residence program provides a year-long residential health policy opportunity in Washington, DC, for outstanding nurse leaders. Each year, this immersion experience at the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) supports the engagement of the scholar in a prominent role in health policy development at the national level. As part of the program, the scholar is asked to produce a policy-oriented paper based on their area of special interest and/or become actively involved in a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine study related to their area of expertise.

The program seeks individuals who have the capacity and skills to generate policy for issues of special interest and the ability to promote greater public understanding. Applicants with demonstrated success in promoting health equity are strongly encouraged to apply.

Initiated in 1992, the American Academy of Nursing (AAN), the American Nurses Association (ANA), and the American Nurses Foundation (ANF) support this program in partnership with the NAM.
