The NINR Research Centers Program.

چکیده

T raditionally, new developments in science have been the products of the creative mind of the independent scientist, striving to answer a question or solve a complex problem. This independent, investigator-initiated model remains a dominant driving force of research. However, as science progresses in the 21st century, additional research paradigms, interdisciplinary and cooperative in nature, are evolving. In particular, research characterized by collaboration and resource sharing is increasingly innovative and highly successful. The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) recognizes that collaborative research is facilitated through support mechanisms that foster communication, cooperation, and resource leveraging. It is this recognition that continues to drive us to expand and enhance the NINR Research Centers Program. Research Centers bring scientists, students, and other colleagues with similar interests together to focus on a common area of investigation, such as symptom management in chronic diseases, improved patient outcomes, or end-of-life care. Throughout the history of the NINR, Centers have made vital contributions to advancing the Institute goals of building research infrastructure, expanding research capacity, and increasing training opportunities. They provide the stable base needed to develop broad, interdisciplinary programs of research and enhance mentorship of doctoral students and early-career scientists.
