Their expertise in evidence-based practice (EBP) is unmatched, and it is always exciting to dream about and execute the next innovations and advancements in EBP together with them. We are fortunate to be able to continue our passion for and collaborative initiatives in EBP together to accomplish one of our big dreams—that by 2025, every clinician in the world will have EBP in their DNA. I also want to thank and acknowledge our entire team in the Center for Transdisciplinary Evidence-based Practice (CTEP) at The Ohio State University College of Nursing, especially Bindu Koshy Thomas, Lynn Ellingsworth, Susan Potter, and Cindy Zellefrow, who are the wind beneath Lynn’s and my wings. In addition, I am thankful to Mary Nash and Jackie Buck at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Linda Stoverock, Cathleen Opperman, and Cheryl Boyd at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, who have all been terrific academic-practice partners in working together with our CTEP team to create ideal EBP practice environments and cultures. Special acknowledgement also is given to all the Advancing Research and Clinical practice through close Collaboration (ARCC) model EBP mentors affiliated with our CTEP and the other five experts who served on the national expert panel for the first phase of consensus validation for the EBP competencies, including Karen Balakas, Anna Gawlinski, Marilyn Hockenberry, Rona Levin, and Teri Wurmser. It’s all about the dream and the TEAM because Together, Everyone Accomplishes More.
