Purpose: The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) is dedicated to improving health and health care through the funding of nursing science and research training. With a focus on guiding the nation's nursing science research agenda and improving quality of life, the NINR is ideally positioned to meet current healthcare challenges and anticipate future challenges and priorities. In this article, coinciding with the NINR's 30th anniversary, examples of NINR-supported research are described, along with its training activities designed to develop a strong cadre of 21st century nurse scientists. In addition, we discuss priorities and future directions for advancing cutting-edge nursing science to "claim the future" and improve the health of the nation over the next 30 years and beyond.
Clinical Relevance: The evidence base developed by nurse scientists informs clinical practice, promotes health, and improves the lives of individuals across the lifespan. NINR-supported research has had a profound impact on health over the past 30 years and is ideally positioned to continue to address the most important health challenges now and in the coming decades.

Background: Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are important biomarkers for the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases; however, the general population also tests positive at a low frequency, especially in women. Although the effects of various autoimmune diseases on pregnancy outcomes have been studied, the association of ANA with pregnancy outcomes in healthy individuals is unclear. Preterm birth (PTB), a major cause of neonatal death or long-term health problems, is a complex condition with a multifactorial etiology, and the underlying mechanism remains unclear.
