	<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Scholarship is highly valued by the CON and university. Scholarship is defined broadly in the College of Nursing, using Boyer’s model as the framework for the types of scholarship that contribute to achieving the college’s mission. Thus, scholarship includes the scholarship of discovery, dissemination, application, and integration. It is an expectation that all doctorally prepared faculty in the CON actively engage in scholarship. According to the AACN (White Paper, 2018) scholarship in nursing can be defined as the generation, synthesis, translation, application, and dissemination of knowledge that aims to improve health and transform health. It is the communication of knowledge generated through multiple forms of inquiry that inform clinical practice, nursing education, policy, and healthcare delivery. Scholarship is inclusive of discovery, integration, application, and teaching (Boyer, 1999). The hallmark attribute of scholarship is the cumulative impact of the scholar’s work on the field of nursing and health care (Newhouse et. al., (2018). Defining scholarship for academic nursing.
