Expert Guidance to Strengthen Nurse-Led Research and Scholarly Practice
Many healthcare organizations recognize the importance of nursing research but lack the internal infrastructure, bandwidth, or dedicated nurse scientist support needed to fully sustain and advance research initiatives.
At Creative Health Care Management (CHCM), the Nursing Research Partnership provides organizations with Fractional Nurse Scientist access.
Structured as a premium annual engagement, this flexible partnership helps organizations build internal research confidence and capability while supporting professional practice and nursing excellence initiatives and designations.
Supporting Nursing Research Through Expert Partnership
The Nursing Research Partnership is designed to help organizations strengthen nursing scholarship and create sustainable support for research initiatives across clinical practice environments.
Through collaboration with a nurse scientist, organizations receive customized mentoring and consultation support including:
- Refining nursing research questions and study design
- Strengthening methodological rigor and project feasibility
- Mentorship for nurse-led research initiatives
- Guidance prior to IRB submission and regulatory readiness
- Distinguishing research, quality improvement, and evidence-based practice projects
- Supporting scholarly dissemination and presentation preparation
- Building internal confidence and research capability
- Advancing nursing excellence and professional practice goals
Because every organization’s needs are different, each partnership experience is customized based on organizational priorities, goals, and opportunities.
Advancing Nursing Research Requires More Than Dedicated Time Alone
Connect with our team to learn how this flexible partnership can support your organization.
A Flexible Nursing Research Engagement
The Nursing Research Partnership is intentionally structured as a collaborative and customizable annual engagement rather than a one-size-fits-all program.
At the beginning of the partnership, organizations meet with our team to identify:
- Research priorities
- Organizational goals
- Current challenges and opportunities
- Desired support areas
From there, the organization drives the engagement schedule and focus areas, accessing ongoing nurse scientist mentorship and consultation throughout the year as needs evolve.
Support may be provided:
- Virtually
- On-site
- Or through a blended approach
This flexibility allows organizations to access nurse scientist expertise when and where it is most impactful.
Strengthening Nursing Scholarship and Research Confidence
Strong nursing research programs support more than scholarly inquiry alone. They contribute to:
- Professional growth and engagement
- Evidence-informed practice
- Nursing excellence and innovation
- Organizational learning and dissemination
- Magnet® and professional practice expectations
The Nursing Research Partnership is designed to help organizations strengthen internal scholarly capacity while creating environments where nurse-led inquiry can thrive long-term.
