Overview Slide 3 Marguerite Littleton Kearney, PhD, RN, FAAN NINR
Goals Enhance nursing science to improve the health care of
individuals, families, communities and populations by: integrating
the biological sciences into health care applying new technologies
to healthcare promoting health equity in healthcare developing
scientists of the future Slide 4 Marguerite Littleton Kearney, PhD,
RN, FAAN Focus of Studies Supported by NINR Building the scientific
foundation for clinical practice Preventing disease and disability
Managing and eliminating symptoms caused by illness Improving
palliative and end-of life care Slide 5 Marguerite Littleton
Kearney, PhD, RN, FAAN Shaping the Future of Nursing Science
www.ninr.nih.gov/IQ Designed to initiate a dialogue with NINR
stakeholders to develop lists of creative, results-oriented
questions to guide future research directions in nursing science
Consisted of a series of workshops with leading experts in the
field, and a public website All questions from the IQ Initiative
are posted on the NINR website as a resource for the scientific
community Slide 6 Marguerite Littleton Kearney, PhD, RN, FAAN
encourage new thinking and creativity in nursing science promote
results-oriented research guide the science over the next 5 to 10
years. Slide 7 Marguerite Littleton Kearney, PhD, RN, FAAN Symptom
