How Sigma Supports Scholarship and Research

Elizabeth Madigan Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, United States of America

Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing offers programs and services for scholarship and leadership. For Sigma, scholarship includes research as well as evidence based practice initiatives. Many of the programs and services are open to non-Sigma members. In this presentation, Dr. Madigan will discuss scholarship opportunities for nurses including research grants, journals, the nursing repository, the annual International Nursing Research Congress, and opportunities for virtual networking with other researchers. For leadership, Dr. Madigan will discuss the leadership academies offered by Sigma for faculty development at all levels and for nurses in practice settings. Finally, she will discuss Sigma's new initiatives, global regional councils, that identify how Sigma can better serve members within each of the regions.
