- Abstract
Background Increasing demands to generate, translate, and implement evidence into practice in manpower and budget-constrained environments triggered innovative support for the nursing scientific community. The Clinical Inquiry in Nursing Readiness (CINR) fellowship is a solution to integrate readiness into clinical inquiry priorities and develop future experts in the field. Methods This article describes the fellowship program structure, implementation, and contributions to nursing science, readiness, and professional development. We share specific recommendations based on our experiences to enhance and sustain this valuable fellowship program. Results Six fellows have completed the CINR fellowship since its launch in July 2019. Fellows garnered $40,000 in grant funds for five evidence-based practices, two research studies, and six clinical inquiry initiatives. So far, the fellows have produced 20 knowledge products: Three published manuscripts, three evidence-based resource toolkits, nine professional conference presentations (one international), five professional certifications, a variety of organization-wide leadership briefings, and two military decorations specific to the pandemic response. Conclusions Establishing a fellowship program to develop a pipeline of readiness-focused nurse scientists and evidence-based practice experts builds future capacity for the enterprise while professionally developing individual nurses for advanced degrees and clinical inquiry leadership roles. Individuals and organizations aspiring to promote a culture of nursing inquiry may benefit from fellowships such as the CINR program.
