Other opportunities for continuing education and research training include:

• "Online: Developing Nurse Scientists" is an online course providing general research training for nurse scientists who are in the early stages of their career development. Through the completion of four self-paced modules, nurse scientists learn practical skills and strategies necessary for preparation as a principal investigator and the development of a successful program of research. Seasoned researchers and deans of schools of nursing designed course content within a variety of topical areas to include: (1) Overview of the NIH mission and organizational structure; (2) Description of key research funding mechanisms; (3) Essential elements of a competitive application for research grants; (4) The grant review process; (5) Recruitment of diverse populations for research; (6) Issues related to the ethical conduct of clinical research; and (7) Techniques for dissemination of research findings. Nurse scientists may register for the online research training course and complete the modules free of charge at this link: http://www.nursescientists.com/. To enhance learning, five videotapes that complement the online course content are available for purchase. This online course provides 5 educational contact hours through the Maryland Nurses Association.
