The Friends of the National Institute of Nursing Research (FNINR) is moving to The Westin Washington, DC Downtown ("The Westin Downtown") for the 2025 Annual NightinGala! FNINR invites you to join our 32nd annual event to celebrate the excellent work and discoveries being done by nurse researchers. Together, we can magnify the impact of nursing science through support of the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR).

We invite you to consider supporting FNINR so we can all continue to support NINR.

Why should you become a sponsor or table host? The FNINR NightinGala offers your organization or institution a unique opportunity to maximize your advertising and marketing budget while supporting the work of NINR and nurse scientists. Through the efforts of NINR, the important work that nurse researchers do is underscored by scientifically valid findings that inform nursing practice. Because of nursing research, there is increased respect for the nursing profession as well as global recognition of the importance of nursing in managing the health and well-being of individuals. You're invited to invest in a stronger future for nursing research and education by supporting the 2025 NightinGala! 

10-seat table: $4,000 | 12-seat table: $4,800

As a table host, you have a unique opportunity to engage with influential policymakers. We encourage you to invite your state and federal legislators to join your table at the NightinGala. This is a great opportunity to:

  • Share the impact of nursing research: Discuss how NINR-funded research is improving patient outcomes and transforming healthcare.
  • Advocate for increased funding: Highlight the importance of federal funding for nursing research and the need for continued support.
  • Build relationships: Network with legislators and their staff to foster strong partnerships.

By inviting a legislator to your table, you can help raise awareness of the critical role that nursing plays in our healthcare system. 

Please note: Discovery and Investigator level sponsors will enjoy preferred seating as a benefit of their sponsorship. All other seating will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
