Forum on Inter-Collegiate Regional Events (FIRE) for Nursing PhD Students and Faculty

Integrating Data Science Concepts and Methods into Nursing Research and Practice: A Panel Discussion

Join us for an evening of “big data science”: an evening of dialogue with leaders in nursing science for PhD students and faculty from the Tri-State Area a schools and colleges of nursing PhD programs. This event is designed to engage conversation around the topic of “big data” that will help future nurse scientists to find others with like minds!

• Focused discussion on the current state of “big data science” and its impact on nursing research
• Dialogue on multiple strategies for generating researchable questions that are amenable to big data analysis strategies
• Conversation on wide array of potential areas of nursing research to pursue with these strategies

Panelists:
Suzanne Bakken, PhD, RN, FAAN, FACMI
The Alumni Professor of Nursing and Professor of Biomedical Informatics Columbia University, Director, Center for Evidence-based Practice in the Underserved

“FIRE” Main Mission:  “Planning ways to connect our PhD students for networking and collaboration.”

Goal: To share and engage in collegial networking, research, resources, and creativity to improve clinical outcomes through our research and scholarship.

Plan: To meet in the 2016 – 2017 academic year twice at events designed to promote dialogue between and among PhD students, faculty and leaders in research related endeavors.

Sessions: Designed to provide high impact content and discussion that promotes conversation and collaboration among emerging scientists in nursing.

Objectives:

• Become aware of possible programs of research across faculty and students that may complement and enhance each other; courses offered; areas of specialty etc.
• Break down walls of competition and replace them with generosity and collaboration;
• Share our passion for research and scholarship among PhD students and faculty across programs;
• Identify resources across programs and facilitate mutually beneficial collaborations between faculty and students;
• For PhD Program Directors and Faculty: Share and support pearls and lessons learned.
