Program Objective

Nurses understand that improving health and well-being means addressing people’s needs in multiple settings, contexts, and over the life course. NINR-supported science uses nursing’s holistic patient and community-focused perspective and wide reach across clinical and community settings to improve individual and population health by addressing the conditions where people live, learn, work, and play: those factors that are at the root of the health challenges that we see. NINR has a longstanding and continued commitment to developing the next generation of nurse scientists: those individuals and teams who will carry nursing research into the future.
