Data Collection Program at National Conference
Engage With Nurse Practitioners (NPs) on Your Next Research Project
Are you interested in sampling NP conference attendees? The American Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP) national conference is a great point of access to the NP workforce. Researchers can apply for an opportunity to collect data on in-person conference attendees.
“The AANP Data Collection Program provided me a unique and valuable opportunity to survey a national sample of NPs about an issue of importance to our practice. Collecting data in this way also allowed me to interact face to face with NPs from around the world. Many stopped at my data collection table to chat and share their detailed insights into my research questions. It was a powerful research and networking opportunity. Thank you AANP!”
