The Southern Nursing Research Society (SNRS) is working with the Centers and the Institute to offer this one day pre-conference workshop on Wednesday, February 12, 2014. The workshop will focus on writing a problem statement, background and significance. 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.
