"Bringing Science to Life" - NINR Strategic Plan

Intended for researchers, clinicians, stakeholders, and the general public, the new strategic plan outlines the role that NINR-supported science can play in addressing the nation’s most pressing health and health care challenges, and details the Institute’s strategic priorities for the conduct and support of scientific research over the next five years and beyond. Publication of our new strategic plan coincides with the culmination of NINR's 25th anniversary year, and marks another important milestone in the evolution of nursing research at NIH and a quarter-century of advancing nursing science.
