What This Program Does

The Center for Nursing Research and Innovation supports federally funded research led by Mount Sinai nurse scientists and facilitates multidisciplinary translational research intended to improve patient care and strengthen nursing practice through innovation and collaboration. It serves clinical nurses across the Mount Sinai Health System who are running research and quality improvement projects, as well as nursing students, and staffs the work with a director, associate director and five additional nurse scientists. The center administers four structured training programs: the NIH-sponsored 12-week Translational Research and Implementation Science for Nurses (TRAIN) program for DNP students from disadvantaged backgrounds, the ten-week paid Learning in Virtual Environments (LIVE) summer program, the nine-week Interdisciplinary Collaborative Research (iCORE) training program, and an Evidence-Based Practice Fellowship. Outside organizations engage primarily as funders and sponsors, including the NIH, the American Heart Association and the Rudin Foundation. The center also publishes an open-access peer-reviewed journal, Practical Implementation of Nursing Science (PINS).
