INDIANAPOLIS, March 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma) will induct 23 nurse researchers into the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame during its 30th International Nursing Research Congress in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in July. This year's inductees — representing Australia, Canada, Sweden, and the United States — will be honored during a special session on Saturday, 27 July 2019, where they will be presented with a crystal award and participate in a moderated panel discussion.
"These Hall of Fame researchers have made highly substantive contributions to global health that will resonate for decades. I offer my sincere congratulations to these 23 outstanding nurses, and I look forward to learning more from them during my conversation with the honorees," said Sigma President Beth Baldwin Tigges, PhD, RN, PNP, BC, who will oversee the induction and panel discussion.
This year represents Sigma's 10th presentation of the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame. The 2019 inductees will join the 176 previously inducted nurse researchers – many of whom will be present at the 10-year anniversary induction – who have achieved significant and sustained national or international recognition and whose research has improved the profession and the people it serves.
The International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame award presentation is sponsored by Wiley.
"Wiley is proud to partner with Sigma to celebrate these distinguished inductees. We congratulate and thank each honoree for their significant contributions to research, leadership, and advancing health around the world," said Wiley Publishing Manager for Nursing Kassie Stovell.
Sigma's annual Congress attracts more than 1,000 nurse researchers, students, clinicians, and leaders, who share information and learn from hundreds of peer-reviewed, evidence-based research presentations. The theme for the 30th International Nursing Research Congress is Theory-to-Practice: Catalyzing Collaborations to Connect Globally.
