The Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science (CANS) is pleased to present the National Congress on the State of the Science in Nursing Research, “Nursing Science – Working Toward a Healthier Nation”.

In an effort to showcase the contributions of nurse researchers and influence the national agenda, the Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science (CANS) along with the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) and the nation’s top nursing organizations have joined together to co-sponsor this biennial event.

Nurse researchers from around the country will join with recognized experts, funders of nursing research, policy makers, and academic leaders to explore emerging scientific discoveries related to nursing practice.

The Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science (CANS) is an open membership council of the American Academy of Nursing. CANS promotes “better health through nursing science” and acts as a national networking and advocacy entity for nursing scientists and supporters of nursing science.

The goals of CANS:
  • be a strong voice for nurse scientists at the national and international levels to support the development conduct and utilization of nursing science;
  • share research findings across individuals and groups in scientific and lay communities;
  • facilitate life-long learning opportunities for nurse scientists.
