The ESC Council on Cardiovascular Nursing and Allied Professions (CCNAP) is committed to professional growth of new investigators in cardiovascular nursing and allied professions. The number of PhD prepared cardiovascular nurses and allied professionals is growing in Europe, and the Nursing / Allied Professional Investigator Award aims to recognize the outstanding contribution of these investigators in understanding, preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. This was the first award to be established in cardiovascular nursing and allied professions at a European level. It is in honour of one of the founders and first chair of the former ESC Working Group on Cardiovascular Nursing, Atie Immink.
To apply, submit your abstract for the ESC Congress 2015 before 14 February 2015 with the option "Nursing/Allied Professional Investigator Award".
