About INQRI
The primary goal of the Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative (INQRI) is to generate, disseminate and translate research to understand how nurses contribute to and can improve the quality of patient care. The program, led by Mary Naylor, Ph.D, R.N., F.A.A.N. and Mark Pauly, Ph.D. of the University of Pennsylvania, in partnership with Lori Melichar, Ph.D. and her colleagues at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, supports interdisciplinary teams of nurse scholars and scholars from other disciplines to address the gaps in knowledge about the relationship between nursing and health care quality.News Room
