Specifically, the Committee noted that predoctoral research training continued to be the appropriate level of training to meet the urgent need for doctorally trained individuals capable of providing research and teaching leadership. Whereas past 128

Recognizing the advances that have been made in nursing research in recent years, the Committee' suggested that a few nursing faculty might provide quality training in nursing research tinder' the auspices' of the NRSA authority.' Given the innovative thrust of these recommendations, the ' Committee set as its goals for this report a review of the 'NRSA program development by the Division' of Nursing. A summary of the recent developments in doctoral training opportunities in nursing research is a~so'provided.

Because the Committee's recommendations for NRSA program development are based on the demand for doctorally trained personnel, the following review of doctoral programs in nursing serves as a useful background to the survey findings subsequently reported in this chapter. At the present time nursing education is influenced by the presence of four major regional education authorities.

As data from the Survey of Doctoral and Pending Doctoral Programs for Nurses reveal, the availabil ity of regional coordinating authorities has determined to some extent the location and emphasis of doctoral programs for nurses. FINDINGS FROM THE SURVEYS OF D~TO=L AND PENDING DOCTORAL PROGRAMS FOR NURSES As a part of the continuing ef fort to provide the Committee with information describing developments in graduate education for nurses, the Ad Hoc Advi very Group on Nursing Research Personnel conducted two surveys of a selected number of schools of nursing which either provide doctoral programs for nurses, or are devel oping doctoral programs at this time.

No institution reported a curtailment in master's degree enrollments to permit the exclusive development of doctoral training. O In 1977 - 78 more doctoral st udents in nursing research received stipend support than in 1974-75 in every category of support (Appendix ~ 3~.

While the variability in these research components can be attributed in part to the age of the doctoral program and differences in training emphasis, it is clear that certain programs possess a greater number of attributes that make up a sound doctoral training experience than others. Because a strong research climate is essential to the production of doctorates in every area of scientific inquiry, the Com135

Deans, for example, have indicated that faculty turnover in recent years and the addition of new faculty with active research interests lead to changing research development needs. Some doctoral training institutions that have received up to lo years of development support through such programs as the Faculty Research Development Grants program of the Division of Nursing (Gortner, 1973; NRC, 1975-77: 1977 report)

Acknowledging that nursing research has become a distinct area of scientific inquiry, the Committee recommended that a limited number of institutional grants be provided for research training in graduate departments of well-qualified schools of nur s i ng . Until a greater number of schools of nursing with doctoral programs can demonstrate a capacity to provide a strong research environment for doctoral candidates, the Committee reaffirms its recommendation that the ma jority of institutional awards should be given to nursing schools for training doctoral candidates in basic science departments that have established relationships with schools of nursing in the pattern of the former Nurse Scientist Training Program.

2. The Committee recommends that institutional awards be made primarily for training nurses in basic science departments that have establi shed relationships with schools of nursing, in the pattern of the former Nurse Scientist Training Program, and that only a limited number of training grants be provided for research training in graduate departments in well-qualified schools of nursing.

It is less clear whether the payback provi signs are suf f iciently flex ible to encourage these ind ividuals to -seek NRSA support . Because opportunities for mi`3career research training would enrich the rapidly expanding nursing research labor ~force, in the coming year the Committee will assess the means by which training support should be made available to recruit research personnel at this stage of their professional career development.
