Linking critical care nursing and genetics with research funding opportunities.

The purpose of this article is threefold: to reveal how a disease that afflicts many critical care patients can be the impetus for forging into a research career; to illustrate a program of research undertaken by a nurse investigator to answer a critical care nursing question using genetic technology; and to identify exciting opportunities for research training, career development, and investigator-initiated research activities for the advanced practice critical care nurse at the National Institute of Nursing Research. The article concludes by identifying future linkages between nursing research and genetics.

Quality of life for transplantation patients: National Institute of Nursing Research Spring Science Work Group.

Quality of life for transplantation patients offers many opportunities for basic science and clinical researchers, ranging from biological and behavioral investigations to clinical interventions and population studies. Specific topics of interest for the field of transplantation research that have immediate application to studies of quality of life include signs and symptoms of chronic illness, biobehavioral risk factors for disease, functional disabilities, patient outcomes, adherence to treatment, care delivery, roles of families and caregivers, strategies of stress management, special needs of children and high-risk patients, health promotion and education, and long-term care. These topics offer investigators a unique opportunity to develop and apply integrated prevention and treatment strategies and to contribute valuable insights and skills to multidisciplinary research teams needed for quality-of-life studies of transplantation patients.

Increasing nursing postdoctoral opportunities: National Institute of Nursing Research Spring Science Work Group.

On May 1-2, 2000, the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) hosted a Spring Science Work Group on Increasing Nursing Postdoctoral Opportunities. The work group met at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda and was chaired by Dr Patricia A. Grady, director, and Dr Hilary D. Sigmon, program director, NINR. The purpose of the meeting was to identify ways to increase postdoctoral opportunities for nurse researchers. The work group considered the gaps and strengths currently present in postdoctoral education and suggested strategies and collaborative approaches for future initiatives. As biomedicine and behavioral science enter the 21st century, nurse scientists have critical roles to play in basic laboratory studies, translational research, clinical investigations, care delivery, and outcome evaluations. To fulfill these roles and to meet the growing need for well-trained nurse scientists in complex, multidisciplinary research, the "pipeline" of postdoctoral nurse researchers must be strengthened.

Answering critical care nursing questions by interfacing nursing research training, career development, and research with biologic and molecular science.

Critical care nursing practice encompasses physiologic as well as psychosocial responses of individuals to acute and chronic health care problems. Before solving integrative nursing problems, pathophysiologic information based on state-of-the-science biotechnology is needed. More critical care nurse researchers need to answer clinical questions with biologic and molecular science information, measurements, and techniques. The purpose of this article is to describe research training, career development, and research opportunities to facilitate the interface of critical care nursing research with the biologic and molecular sciences.
