Background: The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Ending Unequal Treatment report emphasizes immediate actions to eliminate health inequities (i.e., solutions-oriented health inequity research), versus incrementally advancing health equity. Nurse scientists are uniquely positioned to lead national efforts to eliminate health inequities.
Purpose: To outline nursing science's contributions to solutions-oriented health inequity research, highlight opportunities and challenges for nursing leadership, and key competencies for which workforce support infrastructure is needed.
Methods: We draw on the landmark 2024 Ending Unequal Treatment report, supplemented by a review of the literature on scientific nursing-specific workforce challenges.
Discussion: We identify strategies for sustaining and advancing nursing science's leadership in solutions-oriented health inequity research, including objectives, competencies, and programmatic elements needed to support current and future nurse investigators.
Conclusion: Bolstering the nursing scientific workforce in solutions-oriented health inequity research will elevate the role of nursing science in eliminating health inequities and improving population health.
