title: Shaping a research agenda for the African-American community: issues and opportunities.
abstract: Building on a previously published NBNA article, this article emphasizes the continuing need for African-American nurses to be actively involved in shaping a research agenda for improving the health and well-being of the African-American community. Thus, this article briefly highlights implications for research targeting African-Americans and summarizes selected information on the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). As the National Black Nurses Association and its members continue to develop, implement, and evaluate a research agenda targeting African-Americans, they are encouraged to explore opportunities for research training and career development provided through the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR).
