All abstract components have a maximum length of 3,000 characters. The title, presenter information, and references should not be included in the body of the abstract. In-text citations, however, are appropriate. These citations will be included in the overall word count. Full references are required in the Reference field.

The use of a word processing program, rather than the submission form, is recommended for composing the abstract. Please check spelling, word count, and conformation to the guidelines prior to copying the abstract onto the submission form.

All abstract and presentation materials must be in compliance with international copyright laws.

Abstract title, abstracts, and presentation focus should be original (not previously published or presented). We recognize that a study, project, or work may yield multiple findings and subsequently several original publications or presentations. To be eligible to present, submissions must contain an original title, abstract text, and subsequent presentation content (i.e., different view, perspective, or focus).

Submission Due Date: Submit all abstracts no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on 29 August 2024.

An email with your abstract ID and abstract title will be emailed to you after your email is submitted to the system. The email will include the submitter's User ID. Please keep this email for reference.

An individual may submit more than one abstract; however, if successfully reviewed, only one oral podium, one rapid presentation, and one PechaKucha submission will be accepted for presentation.

Abstract submissions that are incomplete and in "draft" status after the submission deadline will not be eligible for presentation and will no longer be accessible by the authors.

Email notification of abstract acceptance will be sent only to the presenting author by the end of October 2024. All submitters of completed abstracts will receive an email.

The author's failure to return the "intent to present" information will disqualify the abstract from presentation. Only the presenting author is required to complete this form.

Presentation files must be uploaded by the identified deadline. No audiovisual (A/V) capability will be available for any presentation that is not uploaded by the deadline.

A complete presentation submission includes the following:

Step 1: Title/Body

The sum of the 'Abstract Text, Abstract Summary, References' fields will have a maximum length of 3,000 characters.

Title (Maximum of 100 characters)

Abstract Text

We suggest that abstracts be developed in a word processing program before accessing the online submission form. Use the spell check and character count features of your word processor to check the text of the abstract before submitting it.

Sigma does not require specific headers for abstract text submissions. If using headings, please make them clearly discernable for the peer-reviewers by bolding or underlining the section header.

Abstracts should include a purpose statement that is clear and aligns with other content of the abstract text.

The abstract should be logical and provide substantial details supporting the overall abstract topic. The abstract should be fully developed and clearly articulate the implications for the nursing profession.

Please remove all references to the title and author information in the abstract text before completing the submission.

Authors should review the information submitted very carefully for spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors. Edits to the abstract content cannot be made after the submission deadline.

Abstract Summary

The abstract summary should be a brief summary of the abstract text. This should not exceed more than 500 characters.

This could be used for promotional materials such as marketing materials if the abstract is accepted. This should be short and compelling to describe what participants should expect by attending your presentation.

References

Provide a minimum of one scholarly reference (e.g., science journal articles, nursing journal articles, books). A minimum of one scholarly reference is needed to complete this step; however, to obtain a high score in this grading category, abstracts should provide the appropriate number of scholarly references that are consistent with the presentation style rubric.

References should be recent and/or appropriate for the abstract (references should be no older than five years, unless they are a seminal work).

A clear, consistent format (i.e., APA, Harvard, MLA, etc.) with less than one error should be used. It is recommended to copy and paste from a word processing program to maintain formatting.

Clearly identify each reference using a numerical approach.

Submitting a Presentation Abstract

Educational concurrent sessions provide the opportunity for nurses to showcase success strategies, techniques, and leadership models to bring together the academic and clinical settings to enhance health globally. Through the presentation of research, projects, and programs, nurses will further scholarship in the nursing profession.
Presentation options for this event include the following: Oral Podium Presentations:
Individual abstract (20-minute presentation)
To be included in a group of up to three abstracts around a similar topic grouped together by the program committee from individual abstracts accepted for presentation. A concurrent session is allotted 15 minutes for individual abstract presentation with five minutes for audience questions.
Submit oral presentation abstract here Rapid Presentation Rounds (RPR):
A newer format to Sigma events. The rapid presentation rounds include complete and incomplete studies, projects, or programs. The work is peer-reviewed and presented as a rapid 5-minute or less oral presentation. These short presentations aim to spark your interest to join in a brief discussion with the presenter which will occur after the presentations. These presentations will still require abstract submission or nomination as a Rising Star student, as we still aim to source high quality abstracts based in evidence.
Submit RPR abstract here PechaKucha Presentations:
What is a PechaKucha presentation?
PechaKucha (Petch-aa Koo-chaa) is a storytelling format where a presenter shows 20 slides for 20 seconds each. Slides are set up to automatically advance after 20 seconds. In other words, you have 400 seconds to tell your story, with visuals guiding the way. PechaKucha means "chit chat" in Japanese. This creative outlet began as nighttime get-togethers in Tokyo in 2003 by two renowned architects. Since then, three million people have attended PechaKucha events worldwide.

20 slides. 20 seconds of commentary per slide. That's it. Simple. Engaging. Spurring authentic connections.

PechaKucha is the ideal tool to share passions and drop some knowledge. Global innovators use the PechaKucha format to create powerful, visually-compelling stories that move audiences in less than 7 minutes. View this video to see an example of how a PechaKucha is created.

The DAISY Foundation is eager to support the delivery of patient- and family-centered care of disadvantaged populations by funding nursing research and evidence-based practice (EBP) projects designed to address social determinants of health aimed at improving health outcomes.

The DAISY Foundation expects the principal investigators or EBP project leaders to design projects that support the needs of their local community, which are aligned with their organization’s Community Relations Office’s priorities. Dissemination of the results of this scholarly work, both internal and external to the organization, will expand the evidence needed to inform interventions that improve health and reduce health disparities.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Social determinants of health (SDoH) - the conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play - affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes. As stated by Healthy People 2020, "Our health is ... determined in part by access to social and economic opportunities; the resources and support available in our homes, neighborhoods, and communities; the quality of our schooling; the safety of our workplaces; the cleanliness of our water, food, and air; and the nature of our social interactions and relationships. The conditions in which we live explain in part why some Americans are healthier than others and why Americans more generally are not as healthy as they could be." Given the trusting relationships nurses forge with patients and families, nurses are positioned to influence treatment and provide advice that may mitigate SDoH, leading to improved health outcomes. ( https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives/topic/social-determinants-of-health)

Program Goals

The DAISY Foundation is eager to support the delivery of patient- and family-centered care of disadvantaged populations by funding nursing research and evidence-based practice (EBP) projects designed to address social determinants of health aimed at improving health outcomes.

The DAISY Foundation expects the principal investigators or EBP project leaders to design projects that support the needs of their local community, which are aligned with their organization's Community Relations Office's priorities. Dissemination of the results of this scholarly work, both internal and external to the organization, will expand the evidence needed to inform interventions that improve health and reduce health disparities.

General Guidelines and Requirements for Research Grants and EBPs
Target Populations
Target populations for the DAISY-funded studies or projects are those populations with a wide range of health risks based on one or more of the five social determinants of health categories outlined in the figure above. For example, the project population may include those who are disadvantaged because of economic instability; exposure to risk based in their neighborhood or living conditions; low health literacy or poor access to health care; racial disparities or social isolation; or low levels of educational achievement or illiteracy.
Types of Research Studies or Evidence-Based Projects
Applicants may choose to address whatever conditions or diseases interest them that are caused or affected by the SDoH(s). Funded work will:

Be RN-led, but may include other professions on the team

Address treatment of conditions or diseases that are affected by one or more of the SDoH factors noted above

Project goals or aims are aligned with the needs of the local community as assessed by the Community Relations Office of the principal investigators' or project leaders' organization.

Clearly describe the target population to be studied and how it is affected by SDoH(s)

Explore the potential impact of a nursing solution to a health condition caused by one or more SDoH factors

Evidence-based Practice (EBP) grants will be awarded to stimulate the use of patient-focused data and/or previously generated research findings to develop, implement and evaluate changes in nursing practice in the treatment of patients affected by social determinants of health. We encourage nurses who have research/EBP experience as well as those who do not to apply.

Funds for Evidence-Based Practice projects may be awarded for new projects, projects in progress, and projects required for an academic degree as long as all other project criteria are met.

Eligible projects may include research utilization or evidence-based practice projects, performance improvement initiatives that are based on evidence, or outcomes evaluation projects.

Interdisciplinary and collaborative projects are encouraged and may involve interdisciplinary teams, multiple nursing units, home health, sub-acute and transitional care, other institutions, or community agencies. The team must be nurse-led. An implementation plan is needed to promote adoption of the evidence-based intervention by the clinical team.

We will not fund tool development as part of EBP projects.

You will be asked which EBP process model your study will follow. Which one is your choice (e.g. Iowa Model, Johns Hopkins Model, or another used in your organization), but please assure us that a systematic and disciplined process to evaluate the outcomes of your initiative will be in place to structure your work. We are especially interested in your process and outcomes indicators/measures.

In all cases including DNP projects, your application must demonstrate how clinical nurses will play an integral role in project work.

The Research Grants provide awards to qualified nurses carrying out clinical research studies.

The Principal Investigator (PI) must be a nurse or formally affiliated with a clinical or community health setting, and they may be faculty at an academic setting.

Funds may be awarded for new projects, projects in progress, and projects required for an academic degree as long as all other project criteria are met.

We encourage you to identify a Mentor, especially if you are less experienced in applying for a research grant. If you desire a Mentor and are unable to find one, The DAISY Foundation will provide time-limited mentor support.

With both EBP and Research grants, we will fund only direct expenses. We will not pay for institution overhead, fees to institutional review boards, Applicants' time, etc.
Eligible Applicants
DAISY's grants encourage registered nurses from all levels of experience to engage in research and EBP projects that will affect the health outcomes of patients and families. For this grant program, we will support investigators who are committed to compassionate, inclusive care and are passionate about making a difference for their target population. The application asks you to explain why this work is important to you. Grantees, whether working in a healthcare facility or academic setting must be connected to a clinical or community healthcare setting.

For all work, it is imperative that nurses who provide direct care play a meaningful role in your study or project in its conceptualization, implementation, data collection, data analysis, and dissemination of results. The application requires a description of the role these nurses will have in your work to ensure that this program is enhancing the research or EBP implementation experience of nurses who have direct contact with patients and families.

The Project Leader/Team Leader must be a nurse who is currently employed or formally affiliated with a clinical or community health setting, and they may be faculty in an academic setting.

A Project Mentor is strongly recommended for each grant application. We encourage Applicants to find a Mentor in your institution, nearby school of nursing, or community.

Mentors will provide the following benefits which will be especially helpful for less experienced Applicants:

Help potential DAISY Grant Applicants become familiar with resources and problem-solve grant issues or concerns

Advise and refer Applicants to appropriate internal and external resources

Establish availability by phone or email to Applicants

Review the grant application and provide feedback/guidance as needed

Your Mentor should be an established Advanced Practice Nurse who provides support in the development and submission of an evidence-based practice grant. Mentors will assist Applicants in the development of the grant application, serving as a coach and advisor to the Mentee throughout the project.

Before you submit your application, please be sure your project is ready to implement as soon as you receive IRB approval or exemption and grant funding. All tools need to be in place with permission for you to use them.

We want you to be successful, so please read the notes on the application carefully as they will guide you to writing a successful application.
Additional Requirements
We seek studies and projects that may be transferable to other organizations and practitioners once they are completed. Applicants should be ready to implement their projects immediately following funding from The DAISY Foundation. Our application requires you to provide evidence of permission to use any tools you propose, so there is no delay in commencing the work.

Only research and EBP projects approved by your institutional review board (IRB) or that have been exempted in writing by your IRB will be funded. A copy of your IRB approval on IRB letterhead with an appropriate signature will be required prior to our funding your grant. If you do not have IRB approval yet, that is not a problem. You may apply for a grant while IRB approval is pending. Just know we will not actually fund without written IRB approval.

The timeline you submit for your study or project should plan for completion of your work within 1 year of its start.

Grant payment will only be issued to your institution or a specified fund at your institution, not to an individual investigator.
Research studies: Up to $10,000 EBP projects: Up to $2,500
What We Will Fund

Compensation for:

Research Assistant time (includes hiring students)

Mentor time

Investigator time

Fringe benefits

Staff nurses' time when they are subjects of the study

Faculty compensation (except in a limited role as a consultant on a unique aspect of the study

Application Forms

Required Reports

If your grant is approved, at the halfway point and at the conclusion of your study or evidence-based practice project, we require a report from our Grantees. To review the requirements for these reports, please click on the following:

IF AN INVESTIGATOR LEAVES THE INSTITUTION

The DAISY Foundation must be notified by email ( FaithThomas@DAISYfoundation.org) should any member of the research team leave the institution.

IF A PROJECT CAN NOT BE COMPLETED

If a project funded by The DAISY Foundation cannot be completed for any reason, the Foundation must be informed immediately and unspent funds must be returned to the Foundation. In summary, we will fund studies and projects that represent good science, will impact patients and their families in a direct way, and have potential outside one's own institution.

Publishing Your Work

If you receive funding from us, please recognize The DAISY Foundation upon publication/presentation of your research in the following way:

Funding provided by The DAISY Foundation's Health Equity Grants for Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice Projects

A DAISY Foundation logo will be provided for your use.

We will post the findings of your study on our website and will discuss the specifics with you prior to our doing so.

In your letter of agreement provided with your grant application, you committed to submitting your presentation to the Sigma Repository. Please provide your presentation, either as slides (PowerPoint) or your poster, and the corresponding abstract, for inclusion in the Sigma Repository ( www.SigmaRepository.org) by completing this form: https://sigmanursing.formstack.com/forms/daisy_grant_report.

The Sigma Repository is a free resource of Sigma Theta Tau International, the Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma). It was created for nurses and nursing students to disseminate materials unavailable through traditional publishing methods. Only nurses and nursing students may submit material. Sigma membership is not required.

The repository allows authors to experience the benefits of dynamic dissemination, and the dissemination of posters with abstracts does not interfere with the later publication of the full-length work in a peer-reviewed journal. Presenters can quantify the global impact of their work through the repository's publicly available view and download statistics and Altmetric subscription, which allows presenters to track online mentions of their work on a variety of platforms.

Copyright is retained by submitters. The permanent web link to each submission may be cited on a resume, personal/faculty web page, tenure dossier, or curriculum vitae. Submissions are permanently stored on secure servers.
