The winner will be announced in May at the International Nursing Research Conference in Newcastle.
Manchester Metropolitan University professor of nursing Carol Haigh, chair of this year’s judging panel, said the standards of submissions were “excellent”.
She said: “Once again, the standard of submissions was excellent making it a difficult job for the shortlisting panel.
“These outstanding researchers are clearly aware of the contribution nursing knowledge can have on improving outcomes for patients and their families.”
