> **According to the NANDA website (2012), NANDA (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association) was founded in 1982. It grew out of a National Conference Group that was established in 1973. NANDA is now NANDA International. NANDA is an organization of nurses that develops, researches, disseminates, and refines the nomenclature, criteria, and taxonomy of nursing diagnosis (NANDA, 2012). This group has approved more than 200 nursing diagnosis that are used in practice today (NANDA, 2012). [|NANDA] **

> **The National Institute of Nursing Research was established based on two Federal Studies. A report by the Institute of Medicine in 1983 recommended that nursing research be included in biomedical science and behavioral science. In 1984, an NIH Task Force Study found that nursing research activities are relevant to the NIH mission. These findings resulted in action by the legislature to establish the National Center for Nursing Research (NCNR) in 1986. **[|National Center for Nursing Research]

> ===  The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) was established in 1989 in which their initial clinical practice guidelines were published (Burns & Grove, 2009). The AHCPR impacted the development of nursing science and research by assisting in the management of outcomes research. In addition, this division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services had the primary goal of improving the health of our nation through supporting nursing research efforts. To achieve this goal, the AHCPR focused on efficiency, effectiveness, safety, and quality (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2012). Furthermore, the AHCPR encouraged the use of evidence to make informed health care decisions (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2012). Not only did the AHCPR support the development of nursing research but it also assisted in corresponding and transforming the research findings to nursing practice. The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research is now known as the [|Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality]. ===

 * **The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published //Healthy People 2000// in 1992 (Burns & Grove, 2009). //Healthy People 2000//identified 22 priority areas; including diabetes, tobacco, heart disease, HIV infection, and cancer just to name a few. Healthy People was developed and organized by our country’s government as a positive educational program to increase the wellness of our nation. The program’s objectives are selected by studying reliable data as well as baseline measurements and then establishing goals for improvement. A team e****ffort is essential in which nursing plays a significant role. The Healthy People Consortium includes numerous supportive associations, such as The American Nurses Association, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and American Association of Colleges of Nursing (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2012). These nurse-associated groups support the Healthy People goals and objectives. Furthermore, each of these associations influences nursing science and evidence-based practice through their continued nursing research efforts, therefore, it is extremely advantageous for Healthy People to have the support of these discussed associations.**

>  **Nursing research in the 1990s developed into a major force in increasing a scientific knowledge base for the practice. Qualitative research is a systematic, skewed approach used to describe life experiences and give them meaning. It is a way to be informative through discovering meanings. In 1994, Qualitative Health research was first published .** **<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">To obtain nursing knowledge that otherwise cannot be retrieved by empirical or quantitative means, qualitative nursing research is able to achieve that goal. ** >

<span style="color: #800080; display: block; font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;">**Established in 1996, the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) is now a growing, dynamic international collaboration involving nursing, medical and allied health researchers, clinicians, academics and quality managers across 40 countries in every continent. Evidence-based practice (EBP) has seen tremendous growth in recent years. EBP provides an opportunity for clinicians and healthcare professionals to provide the best treatment possible based on the best available evidence, which will in turn result in better patient outcomes. The Joanna Briggs Institute's (JBI) approach to evidence-based healthcare provides a better understanding of the role that evidence plays in clinical practice with a central focus on the effectiveness, meaningfulness, appropriateness and feasibility of health practices and delivery methods (Moola, 2010).**

With this development, the journal //Biological Research for Nursing// was initially published in the same year. It is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal that greatly aids nurse researchers, educators, and practitioners. As nursing is not a stand alone profession, this event is significant to the development of nursing science and research because it underscores the influences of other basic disciplines in nursing. This journal is an integration of information from the fields of biology, physiology, chemistry, health policy, business, engineering, education, communication and the social sciences into nursing research, theory and clinical practice thus further establishing the foundation of the science of nursing. **

First published in the year 2004, it provides clinicians, educators, researchers, nurse leaders, and policymakers a primary source of evidence-based information to improve patient care. This event plays a significant role in the development of nursing science and research because each issue is a compilation of original, highly-informative peer-reviewed articles with best practice applications and knowledge synthesis. The journal provides valuable nursing research findings and recommendations for clinical practice, nursing administration, nursing education and public health care policy to enhance the practice of nursing. ** >

This has impacted nursing research by proving funds and promoting research in health care including nursing research. In addition, Healthy People 2020 focuses national healthcare goals and research on health promotion. One heath care initiative is to research, develop, and implement interventions to improve health literacy. Nursing Research has and will continue to play a siginificant role in meeting this initiative and advancing health care. [|American Recovery Act] & [|Healthy People 2020] **
