In Brief This manuscript demonstrates how one institution used research background information to recommend the use of two survey studies on nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice related to research as a needs assessment tool to develop research education.

The committee is planning for the future incorporation of research skills into the new nurses' orientation program.
