The Academy launched the Institute for Nursing Leadership in 2014 which serves as the umbrella for nurse appointments and leadership development. The launch was made possible through a generous matching grant from Pfizer, Inc.
All of the Academy Fellows are accomplished leaders in research, policy, education and/or practice. And, all fellows are in a position to lead change and improve the health of their community and country. Many Academy Fellows have been appointed or elected to serve governments and organizations at the national, state, and local levels.
