Behavioral, social and biological processes interact in maintaining health, in causing all ten of the leading sources of death, and in sustaining the major chronic illnesses that account for most of health care spending in the United States. Nursing science is one of the disciplines that integrates behavioral, social and biological processes in understanding and intervening in various states of health and illness. Nursing science demands an interdisciplinary biobehavioral perspective in order to develop interventions to prevent onset or progression of impaired functioning, disability and pathology along the dual continua of health and illness. Yet the number of nurse scientists prepared to integrate biobehavioral theory and methodology is relatively small. In the past decade a serious shortage has been identified of nurse scientists prepared to conduct innovative research at the interface of biological and behavioral science. These are scientists who can translate fundamental cellular processes to the integrative functioning of whole living beings in terms of life processes and therapies. Biobehavioral trained nurse scientists are prepared with depth in an area of inquiry, yet with sufficient breadth to understand the interactions among the traditional disciplines, and trained to use innovative research technologies and analytic strategies. The goal of this training program is to train eight (8) predoctoral and three (3) postdoctoral scholars each year in order to increase the cadre of nurse scientists skilled in biobehavioral theory and methodology. The University of Washington is unique in having a cadre of nurse scientists who work exemplifies research in biobehavioral theory and methodology and in preventive interventions. The specific aims of this training program are for trainees to attain theoretical and methodological capability to (1) expand understanding of the biobehavioral interface between individual vulnerability and environmental risk as foundational for generating new interventions; (2) integrate biological and behavioral instrumentation and state of the art biomethodologies for studying transactions between individual vulnerability and environmental risk for disease, disability, or progression of these adverse health responses; and (3) test nursing therapeutics aimed at managing biobehavioral vulnerability and risk in preventing disease, impairment and functional disability, or progression of disease, impairment and disability.

行为、社会和生物过程在维持健康、导致所有十大主要死因以及维持占美国医疗保健支出大部分的主要慢性病方面相互作用。护理学是一门综合了行为、社会和生物过程来理解和干预各种健康和疾病状态的学科之一。护理科学需要跨学科的生物行为学观点，以便开发干预措施，沿着健康和疾病的双重连续体预防功能受损、残疾和病理的发生或发展。然而，准备整合生物行为理论和方法论的护士科学家的数量相对较少。在过去的十年里，已经发现严重缺乏准备在生物和行为科学的界面上进行创新研究的护士科学家。这些科学家可以将基本的细胞过程转化为整个生物在生命过程和治疗方面的综合功能。经过生物行为训练的护士科学家在调查领域具有深度准备，但具有足够的广度来理解传统学科之间的相互作用，并接受使用创新研究技术和分析策略的培训。该培训计划的目标是每年培训八(8)名博士后学者和三(3)名博士后学者，以增加精通生物行为理论和方法论的护理科学家队伍。华盛顿大学的独特之处在于拥有一支护士科学家队伍，他们的工作体现了生物行为理论和方法论以及预防干预方面的研究。本培训计划的具体目标是让学员获得理论和方法能力，以(1)扩大对个人脆弱性和环境风险之间的生物行为界面的了解，以此作为产生新干预措施的基础；(2)整合生物和行为仪器以及最新的生物方法学，以研究疾病、残疾或这些不良健康反应的进展的个人脆弱性和环境风险之间的交易；以及(3)测试护理疗法，旨在管理生物行为脆弱性和预防疾病、损伤和功能残疾或疾病、损害和残疾的进展的风险。
