Improving ‐Omics‐Based Research and Precision Health in Minority Populations: Recommendations for Nurse Scientists

ConclusionsMany opportunities exist for nurses to increase their knowledge in ‐omics and to continue to build the ranks of nurse scientists as leaders in ‐omics‐based research. In order to work successfully with communities of color, nurse scientists must advocate for participation in the Precision Medicine Initiative, improve representation of nurse faculty of color, and increase utilization of training programs in ‐omics and lead such initiatives. Clinical RelevanceAll nursing care has the potential to be affected by the era of ‐omics and precision health. By taking an inclusive approach to diversity in nursing and ‐omics research, nurses will be well placed to be leaders in reducing health disparities through research, practice, and education.
