Free access to supplement articles is provided by publisher Lippincott Williams and Wilkins at www.nursingcenter.com/nursingresearch/incontinence. Reprints can be requested from the Center for Gerontological Nursing, University of Minnesota at geronursing@umn.edu. Publication and distribution of the supplement, as well as development, implementation and evaluation of the new model used for the summit, were made possible by a grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation. Additional support was received from the global partnership of Eli Lilly and Company & Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, as well as 3M Health Care.
Objectives of the October 16-18, 2003 Summit, entitled "Shaping Future Directions on Incontinence Research in Aging Adults" were to: 1) identify new approaches for conducting urinary and fecal incontinence in aging adults; 2) formulate strategic recommendations that advocate for extramural funding for nursing research on urinary and fecal incontinence; and 3) develop recommendations for attracting new nursing investigators into incontinence research and facilitating their research training and mentorship.

The Summit was a huge success, bringing together faculty nurse researchers, graduate students, and clinicians from Canada, the U.K, Australia, Norway and Japan, as well as across the U.S. The National Institute for Nursing Research, the Agency for Health Research Quality, the John A. Hartford Foundation, and 3M also sent representatives. The summit model featured "trigger talks" to stimulate new thinking followed by "reactor talks" that applied new ideas to the field of incontinence and culminating in open discussion. The new model is already being copied by several agencies and groups represented at the summit.
