The Southern Nursing Research Society (SNRS) is working with the Centers and the Institute to offer this one day pre-conference workshop on February 27th, 2012. The workshop will focus on writing a problem statement, significance and need. Participants are asked to come with a draft proposal on which they are working. Proposals should focus on adult-gerontological issues and/or implications for aging including prevention of chronic disease and healthy aging. The workshop will help attendees articulate a clear and concise statement of the problem and make the argument for why it is an important area of research.

Faculty for the program include Dr. Pao-Feng Tsai, Associate Professor, Co-leader of research mission, Arkansas Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence), Dr. Claudia Beverly, Professor and Director AR Hartford Center for Geriatric Nursing Excellence and Dr. Tara Cortes, Professor and Executive Director, The Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing.
