Response to: "Rescuing the NIH before it is too late".

We, the directors of the 27 NIH institutes and centers, wanted to respond to the points made by Andrew Marks in his recent editorial. While we appreciate that the scientific community has concerns, the current initiatives and directions of the NIH have been developed through planning processes that reflect openness and continued constituency input, all aimed at assessing scientific opportunities and addressing public health needs.

National Institute of Nursing Research working group on "Optimizing pregnancy outcomes in minority populations".

The growing complexity of biomedical research requires new methods of discovery; scientists must use an interdisciplinary approach and explore new models of team science, as underscored in the Roadmap of the National Institutes of Health. In March 2003, the National Institute of Nursing Research convened a working group of scientists and clinicians with a wide range of backgrounds to address "Optimizing Pregnancy Outcomes in Minority Populations." The 2-day meeting included a variety of presentations on the current state of research on pregnancy in minority populations. Many participants provided specific insights regarding biobehavioral issues in human-environment interaction, stress and health status relationships to risk, maternal-fetal interactions, and the complications of pregnancy. This supplement presents articles from several participants at this interdisciplinary meeting. The National Institute of Nursing Research looks forward to further collaborations across the National Institutes of Health and other agencies to achieve the vital aims of this working group.

Nurses and the genomic revolution.

PURPOSE: To increase nurses' genetics and genomics literacy through a series of articles focused on genomic research discoveries and their importance for nursing education, practice, policy, and research. ORGANIZING FRAMEWORK: "Genomics for Health " is one of three themes, along with genomes to biology and genomes to society, emanating from applications of the Human Genome Project (HGP). METHODS: In this series of articles, nurse scientists who are experts in genetics and genomics sciences explain terminology, provide background information about the HGP, discuss clinical examples, and recommend changes in nursing practice, education, and research. CONCLUSIONS: The HGP has already led to major changes in clinical practice, research, education, and policy, and even more dramatic changes are predicted for people throughout the world. Mastering this information is necessary for nurses globally because genomic information will ultimately pervade all of health care.

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.

Reducing health disparities in the twenty-first century: opportunities for nursing research.

This article highlights selected components of the National Institute of Nursing Research's (NINR) Strategic Plan on Reducing Health Disparities. Building on its long history of supporting research devoted to improving minority health, NINR has expanded its opportunities and efforts related to health disparities and enhancing the research career development of minority investigators. Given the increased emphasis on reducing and, ultimately, eliminating health disparities, nurse researchers are encouraged to explore the various opportunities provided by NINR when addressing health inequalities.
