Research Leadership Network Meeting

The Research Leadership Network (RLN) Meeting is an annual breakfast workshop organized by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), designed specifically for nursing faculty who hold leadership positions in facilitating research within their academic programs. This event, taking place at the historic Hotel del Coronado in Coronado, United States, aims to advance nursing science by employing cutting-edge research methodologies. Participants will have the opportunity to delve into the application of big data, omics research, and geospatial information systems, which are crucial tools for conducting population-based and health services research. The workshop is highly interactive, encouraging participants to share their experiences and insights concerning the methodologies discussed, thus fostering collaboration and innovation in nursing research. Additionally, the RLN invites nursing faculty to submit abstracts for poster presentations that align with the theme of the conference, showcasing excellence in nursing scholarship. This initiative not only promotes knowledge sharing but also strengthens the leadership capabilities of doctoral nursing leaders while providing year-round networking opportunities. Members of the Research Leadership Network benefit from ongoing professional growth, engagement in discussions about key issues, and collaboration with fellow nursing faculty across AACN member institutions, reaching audiences not just in the USA but also extending to countries like Saudi Arabia.
