Class Information for Evidence-Based Practice Boot Camp
Description
Designed specifically for NIH Clinical Research Nurses, this one-day Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Boot Camp equips participants with the knowledge and skills to translate evidence into meaningful improvements in clinical research and patient care. The course introduces the Melnyk EBP framework and methodology, establishing a strong foundation for conducting evidence-based nursing practice within the NIH research environment. Through engaging, interactive scenarios, participants will explore the seven steps of the EBP process, strengthen clinical inquiry skills, and develop PICOT questions relevant to clinical research settings. Learners will be guided through effective literature searching, critical appraisal, and synthesis of evidence, culminating in the ability to support and implement best-practice changes aligned with NIH standards of excellence and innovation. Strategies for dissemination of EBP outcomes will be discussed, and participants will explore the use of the INSPIRE 2.0 algorithm as a tool to guide Clinical Research Nurses through Evidence-Based Practice, research, and quality improvement processes.

Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the NIH Clinical Research Nurse will be able to: 1. Define Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) and describe the Melnyk EBP framework as it applies to nursing practice within the NIH clinical research environment. 2. Explain the seven steps of the Evidence-Based Practice process and their role in advancing quality, safety, and outcomes in clinical research nursing. 3. Formulate focused clinical inquiry questions using the PICOT format relevant to NIH clinical research settings. 4. Demonstrate effective literature search strategies to identify current, high-quality evidence that supports clinical and research nursing decision-making. 5. Critically appraise and synthesize research evidence to determine its strength, relevance, and applicability to clinical research nursing practice. 6. Apply synthesized evidence to develop best-practice recommendations and practice change initiatives aligned with NIH standards and patient safety priorities. 7. Evaluate outcomes of evidence-based practice changes using appropriate measures to determine impact on clinical research nursing practice. 8. Describe strategies for disseminating EBP findings within NIH and professional nursing forums. 9. Explore the use of the INSPIRE 2.0 algorithm to guide Clinical Research Nurses through Evidence-Based Practice, research, and quality improvement processes.
