NINR commits to research on removing barriers to health equity

In an open letter, National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) Director Shannon Zenk, PhD, publicly committed to supporting nursing research “that will identify interventions and policies to remove barriers to health equity. As we develop NINR’s next strategic plan, rest assured that we will examine nursing research’s role in overcoming these structural obstacles to health for everyone—regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or income,” she wrote.
