TheNational Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), as part of theU.S. National Institutes of Health, supports clinical and basic research to establish ascientific basis for thenursing care of individuals across the life span—from management ofpatients during illness and recovery, to the reduction of risks for disease and disability, and the promotion ofhealthy lifestyles.

History

[edit]
Former NINR director Shannon Zenk

Federal involvement innursing research can be traced back to 1946, with the establishment of the Division of Nursing within the Office of theSurgeon General, Public Health Service.

In 1955, the first extramural nursing research program was established in the Research Grants and Fellowship Branch of the Division of Nursing Resources,Bureau of Medical Services. At this same time, theNational Institutes of Health (NIH) established the Nursing Research Study Section within the Division of Research Grants to conduct scientific review of the growing volume of applications in this area.

In 1960,public health nursing services were consolidated to form a new Division of Nursing in theBureau of State Services, whose successor is now within theHealth Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) – the agency responsible for clinical training in the health care professions. The initial and continuing goal of federal support was to build a foundation for nursing research. During this time, many academic institutions establishedpredoctoral andpostdoctoralfellowship programs to train independent nurse investigators. Nursing research programs were also funded and research information was exchanged across the country.

The impetus for establishing the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) came from the findings of two federal studies. A 1983 report by theInstitute of Medicine recommended that nursing research be included in the mainstream ofbiomedical andbehavioral science, and a 1984 NIH Task Force study found nursing research activities to be relevant to the NIH mission. These findings resulted in legislative action that established the National Center for Nursing Research (NCNR) at NIH in April 1986. The Center later became an NIH Institute with the NIHRevitalization Act of 1993 and a Federal Register notice on June 14 of that year – both actions formally changing the NCNR to the NINR.[1]

Dr. Patricia A. Grady served as director of NINR from 1995 to 2018. Dr.Shannon Zenk became Director of NINR in September 2020.[2] Shannon Zenk was placed on administrative leave as part of the Health and Human Services Department’s massive layoffs in April, 2025
