NINR Welcomes Four New Members to the National Advisory Council for Nursing Research

Four new members to the National Advisory Council for Nursing Research, the principal advisory board for the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), were recently announced. NINR, a component of the National Institutes of Health, supports clinical and basic research to establish a scientific basis for the care of individuals across the lifespan. Members of the council are drawn from the scientific and lay communities, embodying a diverse perspective from the fields of nursing, public and health policy, law, and economics. An important role of the council is to conduct a second level of review of grant applications that have been scored by scientific review groups.
