The need for a bold research agenda to address structural racism

      The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) released the 2022 to 2026 Strategic Plan Framework to lead nursing research, training, policy, and practice toward addressing pressing health challenges (

      ). Guided by an intentionally inclusive process, NINR solicited feedback from a large and diverse group of stakeholders to inform the development of the Framework. Ultimately, the Framework prioritized narrowing the health disparities gap, a gap that persists despite decades of nursing research (

      ). The new Framework challenges nursing scientists to enact change by dismantling structures that perpetuate racism and impede health equity (
