Statement issued on behalf of the American Academy of Nursing, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the Friends of the National Institute of Nursing Research, the National League for Nursing, and the Oncology Nursing Society. “As nursing organizations, we stand to uphold what is core and critical to our profession— placing the patient at the center of our care. We stand in unity to advance health and advocate for innovation, progress, and reform where needed. Of particular concern is the proposed elimination of the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), within the National Institutes of Health (NIH).”
