This portfolio brings together selected academic and research-related work developed during Mahya Moshtagh’s nursing education and early research training in Iran. It spans quantitative nursing research, clinical research planning, nursing education, scientific literature, wound care, digital health, healthy aging and health-service innovation. The items included differ in scope and stage of development: some reflect completed data collection and analysis, while others are research proposals, early-stage concept notes, literature-based writing samples, a presented conference poster, or conceptual health-innovation projects that were never implemented. Each entry is labeled by project type and status so that empirical studies can be distinguished clearly from proposals, concepts and scholarly writing, rather than treated as a uniform list of completed research.
