Increasing nursing research opportunities in biodefense: National Institute of Nursing Research Science workgroup.

The threat of bioterrorism and the need for biodefense are new challenges for the scientific community. Bioterrorism already has had significant effects on the nation's health. Researchers involved in nursing research are addressing these effects and the many issues relevant to biodefense. To explore the role and potential contributions of nursing research in these arenas, the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) recently convened a science workgroup. The workgroup highlighted current knowledge in biodefense, suggested opportunities for nursing research, and proposed specific research topics and research training needs. The topics are integral to the strategic plan on biodefense developed by the National Institutes of Health and include biologic, behavioral, applied/translational, and health systems research. Nurse researchers can contribute particularly to biologic studies directed toward effective diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the effects of bioterrorism and biodefense.

Creating a nursing vision for leadership in genetics.

Today, an increasing number of nurses are applying new genetic knowledge in their practice, research, and educational activities. Just as the evolving precepts of biology, psychology, sociology, medicine, public health, and economics are integral to the practice of quality patient care, so too are those of genomics. The International Society of Nurses in Genetics (ISONG) has taken up the challenge of educating nurses about genetics and about ways such knowledge might be integrated into practice.

Increasing nursing research in cystic fibrosis.

A pressing need exists for more research on the clinical, psychosocial, and genetic dimensions of cystic fibrosis (CF)(a broad spectrum of issues to which nursing research is well suited). The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) is therefore seeking ways both to bring new nurse researchers into ongoing CF research and also to encourage those already engaged in nursing research in other areas to widen their focus to include CF. These goals were the focus of the NINR Spring Science Workgroup held on May 1-2, 2001, in Bethesda, Maryland. The NINR brought together an interdisciplinary workgroup of clinical scientists and practitioners in the fields of pediatric and adult cystic fibrosis as well as investigators with research expertise in telehealth, genetics, child development and family interactions, and ethics. The workgroup, chaired by Dr Patricia Grady and Dr Hilary Sigmon, was charged with identifying gaps in current knowledge and suggesting ways to increase the number of nurse researchers engaged in nursing research on CF.
