From Evidence to Action: How Research and Data Shape Policy, Practice, and Professional Standards brings together national leaders in nursing, research, and policy for a one-day convening at the Vanderbilt University School of Nursing on Friday, August 28, 2026. Through keynotes, expert talks, and panel discussions, participants will explore how evidence moves—or fails to move—into legislation, professional standards, and real-world practice. The conference emphasizes practical strategies for designing impactful research, disseminating findings effectively, and evaluating whether evidence truly influenced change. Designed for researchers, clinicians, educators, and policy-engaged professionals, the day also offers CNE credit, networking, and rich cross-sector dialogue.
