scholarship, and evidence-based practice).
6. Evaluation of the overall value and contributions this research or scholarly project will make to
consumers, nursing and other health professionals, administrators, and policy makers. (This
section should be 4-5 pages in length).
7. Role of Advanced Practice Nurses: Evaluate the role of advance practice nurses in relation to
the research project. Consider personal objectives achieved related to advancement of research
knowledge and competencies. If you worked on a non-nursing related project, discuss the value of
the research process to advanced practice nursing. (This section should be 1-2 pages).
