The University of Maryland School of Nursing presents: The 2009 International Nursing Administration Research Conference

Research into Practice: Building the Foundation for Tomorrow’s Vision from Today’s Challenges, October 14-16

Call for Abstracts

The call for abstracts is closed.

The International Nursing Administration Research Conference (INARC) provides an opportunity for faculty and health care professionals to report back to colleagues on continuing and completed research, as well as theoretical, conceptual, and methodological projects. Topics for papers and posters may address research, practice, or policy issues as they relate to health care administration and leadership in domestic and international public health agencies, health care organizations, academia, industry, and other settings.
Papers and posters should identify specific administrative and leadership challenges in health care administration. Additionally, we encourage a focus on solutions, including best practices, promising models for the future, and failures that offer instructive insights. Consideration should be given to transferability and application of lessons learned to other settings.

Podium Presentations are papers grouped by topic or thematic area, with three to four papers per session. Typically, presenters have 20 minutes for the presentation and 10 minutes for Q&A. There is only one presenter for each abstract. Podium presentation rating form (PDF)
