The IFNA Research Committee recently created three workgroups to maximize its impact.  

71 participants from 20 countries joined the free IFNA webinar, "Writing a Winning Abstract" that was offered in September 2014 by IFNA Research Committee co-chairs, Dr. Helene Moriartyand Dr. June Horowitz, USA.
The purpose of the webinar was to assist family nursing colleagues in preparing strong abstracts for the 12th International Family Nursing Conference and to increase the visibility and potential membership for IFNA. FREE ACCESS TO THE WEBINAR IS NOW AVAILABLE.

The time is now to engage in the upcoming conference! The call is now open for Abstracts for podium or poster presentations (due November 24, 2014).  Are you unsure of how to write an abstract?  Free access to the archived IFNA webinar, "Writing a Winning Abstract" is now available in either Webinar or PowerPoint formats.

Why is it important to submit an abstract for consideration?  First, through active participation in the 12th International Family Nursing Conference you are more likely to be eligible for funding that may be available to you through your workplace or through your grants.  Second, you can involve your colleagues as co-authors on your proposal and they may join you at the Conference.  Third, presentations at (international) conferences may be important to your professional goals or those of your organization for disseminating clinical practice, educational, or research projects.  Fourth, you can contribute to the growth of family nursing.  Your project doesn't need to focus on the entire "family unit" rather it may speak to the implications for the family and family nursing science.  Fifth and *most important* you will have fun as you meet new colleagues and explore Denmark!  Click here for more conference information.

The Call for Abstracts for the 12th International Family Nursing Conference in 2015 is open from October 1-November 24, 2014.

Current IFNA membership: 224 members from 23 countries.
