Senior Scientist Program

The Board of Directors is pleased to announce the creation of a new recognition program to honor members who have advanced nursing science through a sustained program of research.   The Senior Scientist Recognition Program provides recognition by peers for members’ scholarly achievements, mentorship, and service and represents the highest class of membership. This new program recognizes that there are many outstanding researchers whose accomplishments are noteworthy and vital to building the knowledge base in nursing, yet are not recognized regionally or nationally for their work. 

Individuals may self-nominate or be nominated by a peer.  Requirements for Senior Scientist status include:

  • Current regular or retired member of MNRS
  • National and international recognition for scholarship
  • Sustained record of federal and/or foundation funding at R01-type or equivalent level
  • Sustained record of research-based publications in top tier journals
  • Evidence of mentorship
  • Record of scholarly service in the discipline

Applications are due on December 10, 2010.  The process involves:

  • Completion of an application form
  • Submission of a NIH Biosketch
  • Payment of a one-time $100 processing fee

Individuals applying for Senior Scientist status will receive notification in February.  Senior Scientists will be recognized at the Annual Conference and receive an award at the Business Meeting.  They will also be recognized in a special section on the MNRS website.  Senior Scientist status will remain throughout MNRS membership. 

We are excited to bring you this new recognition program to honor our many outstanding researchers.
