Abstract

Nursing science has contributed an important and unique perspective and has held a leading role in health inequity research to date. However, a number of serious workforce challenges threaten the capacity of nurse investigators to continue their leadership in solutions-oriented health inequity research. This manuscript discusses these challenges and argues that, to maintain and build on nursing’s leadership role, the nursing scientific workforce requires an improved and more modernized support infrastructure for solutions-oriented health inequities research. We also outline a series of considerations for putting such a support infrastructure in place, including overarching workforce support objectives, key workforce competencies, and important programmatic elements for a strong support infrastructure for the future cadre of solutions-oriented nurse health inequity investigators.
