NINR, in collaboration with the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), is hosting a virtual one-day meeting called Advancing Nursing Research to Support Healthy School Environments for All, which will focus on the Institute’s second strategic imperative: School Health. From keynote speakers to panels focused on coordinating care and addressing health challenges in schools, participants will engage with public health experts and fellow researchers in learning how to advance nursing science in this critical area.
The meeting goals are to:
- Identify NINR’s commitment to supporting research that promotes healthy school environments focused on prevention of chronic disease for all students
- Identify gaps and opportunities for nursing research to advance this science and practice, elevating the potential role of school nurses in this process
The Advancing Nursing Research to Support Healthy School Environments for All Meeting is part of a series of events celebrating 40 years of solutions-oriented nursing research. The series spotlights how NINR-funded investigators address real-world health challenges by leading discoveries of person-centered systems and models of care that optimize healthcare delivery and advancing breakthroughs in disease prevention and health promotion that empower people, families, and communities.
