Mission Statement
The NINR Mission is to lead nursing research to solve pressing health challenges and inform practice and policy, optimizing health for all.
Interest Areas
General Topics
NINR prioritizes community-engaged research with a focus on intervention and implementation science that explores the following research priority areas:
Optimize health for all by addressing differences in distribution of health and disease. Research that seeks to understand and intervene on the factors that limit the optimization of health across and within populations.
Identify effective approaches to improve health and well-being by addressing the conditions in which people are born, grow, learn, work, play, live, and age. Research that examines causal pathways and mechanisms through which the conditions of daily life positively or negatively influence health and social risks and protective factors that are downstream effects of higher-level conditions of daily life.
Identify and address pressing health challenges within and across populations and communities. Etiologic research that aims to identify risk and protective factors; applied and translational approaches that prospectively develop strategies; and systems approaches that examine a phenomenon as a network of interconnected elements that form an integrated whole.
Intervene at multiple levels to prevent and manage chronic and other diseases to promote health. Research that spans the continuum from primordial prevention that targets underlying risks to tertiary prevention that aims to reduce symptoms, severity, and progression.
Address the holistic needs of individuals, families, and communities through effective clinical and organizational solutions that leverage nursing research to optimize care delivery. Research that aims to design new or evaluate existing models of care through comparative-effectiveness studies, pragmatic trials, implementation science, and other designs.
Invest in the future of nurse scientists. NINR supports trainees at all career levels, including individual and institutional training grants for doctoral students and career development awards for early-stage investigators.
