      ab: Background: Integrating evidence‐based practice (EBP) into nursing is critical for improving clinical outcomes, yet adoption remains limited due to ongoing individual and organizational barriers. Purpose: The EBP Scholars Program was developed to overcome barriers and foster a culture of evidence‐based nursing practice within a pediatric healthcare system. Implementation: Launched in 2007 during the organization's Magnet journey, the program is grounded in scientific, educational, and implementation science principles. Selected through a competitive application process, scholars engage in a seven‐month structured curriculum grounded in the 8 A's Model of EBP. Learning outcomes are evaluated using pre‐ and post‐program scores on the Evidence‐Based Practice Knowledge Assessment Questionnaire (EBP‐KAQ). Outcomes and Impact: The program has enrolled 147 participants and graduated 124. On average, participants increased their EBP knowledge by 15.7%. Scholar‐led projects have led to over 40 policy updates, new care guidelines, and measurable quality and safety improvements. Graduates have produced 43 posters, 18 podium presentations, and 9 peer‐reviewed publications. Linking Evidence to Action: The EBP Scholars Program offers a scalable model for embedding EBP in healthcare. Through strategic leadership, interdisciplinary collaboration, and structured mentorship, it has advanced evidence‐based care, professional development, and a culture of continuous improvement.
