At every NANDA-I conference, we have the opportunity to acknowledge the contributions to the Association from nurses around the globe. We have five categories of awards: two of these are awarded by the Editor of The International Journal of Nursing Knowledge (Editor’s Award & the Rosemary Carroll Johnson Award), and one of these is awarded by the President (Mentor Award). The other two awards are based on nominations from the NANDA-I membership: the Founders’ Award and the Unique Contribution Award. Descriptions of all awards is below.

If you would like to nominate a NANDA-I member for the Founders Award and/or the Unique Contribution Award, please review the description of the awards, and then send ONE PDF document with all of the following information:

• Full name of candidate, and his/her credentials
• Your full name and credentials (multiple individuals can join together to nominate someone)
• Why you feel this individual should be considered for the award. Be sure to specifically address the purpose of the award for which you are nominating this individual, and how he or she has contributed specifically to the work of NANDA-I
• CV of the individual to be considered for the award.

Please send your PDF document to our CEO, Dr. Heather Herdman (ceo@nanda.org) NO LATER than midnight (CST) on May 15, 2021. Again, please be sure that all of the information is included in one PDF, not multiple documents!
