National Academy of Medicine’s Distinguished Nurse Scholar-in-Residence
Sponsored by the American Academy of Nursing, American Nurses Association, and American Nurses Foundation
The National Academy of Medicine (NAM)’s Distinguished Nurse Scholar-in-Residence (DNSIR) program provides a year-long residential health policy opportunity in Washington, D.C. This immersion experience supports the engagement of nurse leaders in a prominent role in health policy at the national level and facilitates their interaction with other health fellows and scholars. The American Academy of Nursing (Academy), the American Nurses Association (ANA), and the American Nurses Foundation, in partnership with NAM, support this program. 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.
