One function of the NINR is to establish the National Nursing Research Agenda, which is com-posed of priority topics for nursing research. These topics may be related to a national health need, or they may be in an area that requires research for the development of nursing science. The NINR is a major source of federal funding for nursing research. The NINR also supports education in research methods, research career development, and excellence in nursing science. It does not arrange nursing research traineeships or publish information on the success of research utilization projects.
