Leveraging the resources of foundations to advance health equity
Background: Foundations that support health and health care related issues are bell weathers for our nation's most pressing challenges in this area. The new National Academy of Medicine report, The Future of Nursing 2020 to 2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity has been perfectly timed to provide foundations with the additional research and evidence they need to support health equity efforts through the utilization of the nursing workforce. Many foundations are thinking beyond traditional grant-making to align more of their assets with mission in creative ways. (Source: Nursing Outlook)

The Future of Nursing 2020 –2030: Charting a path to achieve health equity
The National Academy of Medicine's long-anticipated report, The Future of Nursing 2020 –2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity, offers an aspirational vision: the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity, diversity, and expertise (Wakefield et al., 2021). Released in May 2021, the report arrives at a critical moment for the p rofession. Many nurses are burned out, exhausted, and have experienced moral injury from caring for an unrelenting stream of patients with COVID-19. (Source: Nursing Outlook)

Advancing diversity, equity, inclusivity and accessibility through methods and approaches in nursing research
Worldwide, COVID-10 devastated the lives of millions of people; in the United States (US), it pulled back the curtains of deeply ingrained social inequalities, bringing to the surface once more the much-needed debate on how to protect the health of people residing in the US. On October 6, 2021, amid this turmoil, the Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science (CANS) held its biennial Advanced Methods Conference. The conference theme was Inclusion by Design: Methods and Approaches Advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity, and Accessibility in Nursing Research. (Source: Nursing Outlook)

Restoring trust in research among historically underrepresented communities: A call to action for antiracism research in nursing
Background: Health disparities and inequities among historically underrepresented populations represent a public health crisis. Purpose: This manuscript describes how use of an antiracism framework, an evidence-based approach to addressing systemic barriers, can assist with restoring trust in historically underrepresented communities that have experienced harm by researchers. Methods: We also discuss the necessity of inclusive research teams and provide exemplars of how antiracism research principles and inclusive research teams can be used to mitigate harm and restore trust in historically underrepresented communities. (S...

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Future of Nursing Scholars Program
Over its almost 50 years history, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has provided about $500M in support of programs to advance nursing practice, education, research, policy, and leadership development. RWJF believes that nurses are critical to improving the health and well-being of all Americans and building a Culture of Health and health equity in the United States. One key issue that RWJF has addressed repeatedly over the past 25 years is the persistent shortage of nurse faculty, particularly those with a PhD degree. (Source: Nursing Outlook)

Older adult Medicaid home and community based services in the American rescue plan: A window of opportunity for nursing
As reported in numerous studies, older adults report the desire to remain at home, expressing their preference to “age in place” and avoid institutionalization. As nurses, we recognize the challenges of attaining this goal given the lack of insurance coverage for routine chronic care at home, shortages of providers, and many older adults’ inability to self-pay for services that would enable them to remain in the community. Recent federal Medicaid policy provides states with funding to address these and other barriers to home-based services for older adults. (Source: Nursing Outlook)

Value informed to Value-driven Nursing Practice
I would first like to thank Yakusheva, Rambur, Buerhaus and O'Reilly-Jacob for both of their thorough and excellent “Outlook and Perspective” contributions in the March/April, 2022 issue of Nursing Outlook. As nursing has matured and the issue of value in health care has now become the lifeblood of the survival of American health care, this contribution could not be more timely or vital.

Moving nursing innovation to prime time through the use of creative partnerships
Nurses are innovative by nature and often identify creative solutions to improve patient care, workflow efficiency, and in resource availability (Snow, 2019; White, Pillay,& Huang, 2016). Historically, Florence Nightingale pioneered nursing innovation in the mid-1800s and since that time nurses have been inventing and transforming care delivery in countless ways (Nightingale, 1863). For example, as use of Nightingale's original nursing process has evolved, nurses have solved far-reaching problems such as hi-tech communication strategies for isolated patients during COVID, use of artificial intelligence to predict patient c...

Leveraging a funding collaborative to develop more PhD prepared nurse scientists and leaders
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) (rwjf.org) believes that nurses are critical to improving the health and well-being of all Americans and building a Culture of Health and health equity in the United States. RWJF has supported nursing practice, education, research, policy, and leadership development since its founding almost 50 years ago. To date, the Foundation has provided about $500M in financial support through many programs. While RWJF was most often the sole funder of many of these programs, the Foundation has also joined with others, including regional and national philanthropy, the federal government, healt...

Closing the nursing leadership gap: Leveraging partnerships with people with intellectual disabilities and developmental disabilities
Monumental changes in health care are needed and highly likely when nurses lead, specifically in the health outcomes for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) and developmental disabilities (DD), their families, and the community. Individuals with ID/DD represent approximately 17% of the US population, and experience higher morbidity and mortality rates at earlier ages compared to the general populous (Cooper et al., 2015). Unfortunately, access to primary medical and mental health care services is even lower compared to persons without disabilities (Doherty et al., 2020). (Source: Nursing Outlook)

Establishing a research racial justice task force to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in nursing research
Nursing Outlook is to be commended for its attention to racism. Two recent Outlook and Perspectives contributions discussed nurses ’ important role in confronting racism. Morone (2021) called out the opportunity for nurses to address racist comments from our colleagues; unfortunately, these comments can occur daily. Emami and de Castro (2021) identified the need to “move from words to action.” They described the commitmen t from the University of Washington School of Nursing and the creation of their Center for Antiracism in Nursing, another commendable action.
