  • AbstractThe Nurse Faculty Research Development in the Midwest (NFRDM) is the precursor to the Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS). Founded by a group of nurses involved in a Department of Health and Human Services' research project, the NFRDM was originally proposed as a continuing education project to develop into a peer research network. Today, the MNRS is a nursing research organization with the purpose of promoting, disseminating and utilizing nursing research throughout the Midwest.
