2019 FNINR AMBASSADORS PROGRAM
Ambassadors are selected from a national pool of applicants based on their abilities to advance public, health professions, and policy-maker awareness of the critical research agenda linked to the National Institute for Nursing Research (NINR). These highly-qualified individuals, many of whom function in the scientific community, will focus specifically on educating Congressional leaders as to the high-impact and cost-effective treatments and quality-of-life enhancements that emanate from nursing science. Ultimately, the goal is to increase research funding to ensure the training of scientists at a time of major scientific breakthroughs and to promote the NINR mission and strategy. NINR goals include improving the health of individuals, families, and communities through developing nurse scientists of the 21st century, and conducting research on health and illness, symptom management, wellness, chronic conditions, end-of life and palliative care, and innovation. New Ambassadors include: Kristin Ashford, PhD, WHNP-BC, FAAN Laden Eshkevari, PhD, CRNA, L.A.c, FAAN Linda Flynn, PhD, RN, FAAN Hurdis M. Griffith, PhD, RN, FAAN Lusine Poghosyan, PhD, MPH, RN, FAAN FNINR President Connie White Delaney commented that all of our Ambassadors “Are exquisitely positioned to use science powered by highly-trained nurses to reduce symptoms and side-effects, support self-management of chronic conditions, and promote health and wellbeing aimed at individuals, families, and communities.” We look forward to continuing our conversations with key Congressional leaders who are understanding and valuing how nurses’ function as scientists, individually and on integrated research teams.
